You Didn't Know Me When Lyrics - Blue Light, Red Light - Harry Connick, Jr.

There's a few things I haven't told you 

And before you hear them from someone else 

To clear up misconceptions, I'd rather tell you myself 

There was a time I rode a roller coaster from Coney Island to Key West 

I held on with one finger, so the other ten could rest 

It may be hard to believe, hard to comprehend 

But baby, you didn't know me when 

I played third chair trombone in an out-of-work polka band 

We looked for gigs on ships, in countries that had no land 

It may be hard to believe we hit the top ten 

But baby, you didn't know me when 

If you want a resume I'll put it in writing 

It's only good for a day and the contents are frightening 

I gave long winded speeches and I was a head of state 

I wrote an endless novel called, 'See Jane Love And Hate' 

It may be hard to believe, I'm reticent 

But baby, you didn't know me when 

If you want a resume I'll put it in writing 

It's only good for a day and the contents are frightening 

I gave long winded speeches and I was a head of state 

I wrote an endless novel called, 'See Jane Love And Hate' 

It may be hard to believe, I'm reticent 

But baby, baby, baby you didn't know me when
