Don’t You Tell Me Lyrics by Tony Iommi

The 1996 DEP Sessions

2005

[Verse 1]
Too many promises
Too many reasons I recall
Too many people
I see the writing on the wall, oh yeah
I must have got you wrong
What kind of world do you live in? Oh
I've waited far too long
I know where you've been
[Chorus]
Don't you tell me you don't know (Oh, don't you tell me)
Don't you tell me you don't know (You don't know)
[Verse 2]
Am I a sacrifice?
Am I a fool too blind to see? (Ooh)
I'm not a vagabond
I know what is is meant to be, hey
There is a better way
There comes a time I do believe, hey
There is a price to pay
And I know where you've been
[Chorus]
Don't you tell me you don't know (Yeah, yeah, don't you tell me)
Don't you tell me you don't know (Yeah, don't you tell me)
Don't you tell me you don't know (Oh, don't you tell me)
Don't you tell me you don't know (Ooh)
[Bridge]
Standing in a waterfall
Trying to ease your shame
Deep inside this tragedy
I try to kill my pain
Don't you tell me
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Standing in a waterfall
Trying to ease your shame
Deep inside this tragedy
I try to kill my pain
Don't you tell me
Oh, don't you tell me
[Chorus]
Don't you tell me you don't know (Don't you tell me)
Don't you tell me you don't know
Don't you tell me you don't know (Don't you tell me)
Don't you tell me you don't know
