Don't Tell Me (I Know) - Steve Forbert

It’s always hurry up and wait, with your hands tied

Don’t tell me, I know

Got ya standin' at the gate, on the outside

Don’t tell me, I know

I know the feelin’s been the same with me

I know it’s always moving slow…

I know you’re, you’re fed up as a man can be

I know, I know, I know…

So they’ve learn’d ya how to crawl on your bruised knees

Don’t tell me, I know

Got ya back against the wall in their deep freeze

Don’t tell me, I know

I know the feelin’s been the same with me

I know it’s always moving slow…

I know you’re, you’re fed up as a man can be

I know, I know, I know…

Alright…

Hey

I saw they’re grindin' up your dreams in their gristmill

Don’t tell me, I know

No it isn’t what it seem’d, it’s a, a-hard pill

But don’t tell me, I know

I know the feelin’s been the same with me

I know it’s always moving slow…

I know you’re, you’re fed up as a man can be

I know, I know, I know…

I know, I know, I know… say yeah

I know an' I know an' I know… say I know

I know, I know, I know…

Um, uh

Oh, yeah
