[Chorus Corinne Bailey Rae]

I don’t even know

How these flowers’ll grow

All on their own…

Maybe you could help me out

I planted seeds long ago

Tended them, even so…

Oh no, oh no

I hope that it turns out right


[Verse 1. Homecut]

One thing I can’t understand, Two I can’t comprehend

Three about something with the… ah its gone again

I was writing glow in the dark songs: an offering

So I can give just a little of bit honesty

You’re in the wrong place if you’re just complacent

But I wouldn’t mind a change from this uphill arrangement

Must be something in the liquidation

Leaving me dazed like the way between a man and a maiden

Things didn’t happen quite the way that I planned but

Wish it was Superman One I’d send world backwards

I put my hands up, at times I get anxious

Test my loved ones till we fall out like dandruff (uh-oh)

I think I been here more than once

Like typing the PIN number but still insufficient funds

Struggling with stuff like suffering

God only knows, that why put I trust my Him..

(…‘cause I don’t’ even know)


[Chorus]


[Verse 2. Soweto Kinch]

How did I get into this fixed up situation?

Missed another payment they could take my whole home as a stipulation

Life’s a sequence of inner stresses and irritations

And a conviction the bank’s tampered with my mini-statements

I don’t even know which way to turn?

Think a vein will burst, ex-girl ain’t concerned

Won’t get these papes returned by April first

Cold approaching broken heater, no dough in the token meter

Too slow to switch it overheated and blown the speakers

Can’t even use the phone either

First day after the postal strike never processed the payment

As an oversight. Overnight the phonebox has broke apart

My overdraft swollen so fast it needs lipo and open heart

I don’t even know, if I’ll ever find this living simple

Find a lady to give to or drift through and hit sixty single

I don’t even know, or if I be the kind of live performer

Who survives a trauma or the type to never find a calling

And die a pauper, Lord help me see more clearly on the road

I drift weary alone but I don’t even know


[Chorus]


[Soweto Kinch Sax solo]


[Refrain Corinne Bailey Rae]

I Don’t Even Know

..I hope that it turns out right
