Invitations never came, she was late again
So we pretended not to see her life controlled by him
So we spent the winter there calming frenzied nerves
Your destiny is in the hands of the deity you serve
Lovers come and lovers go
Just don't lose your nerve
That's when she said...

Tell me something I don't already know
Tell me something I don't already know
Tell me something, baby, please just tell me something

Inspiration's not a choice, it's got to search you out
And give ;you truth you have to voice beyone a shadow of a doubt
Education was a drag, it's too much them or me
I always seemed to find a snag to confuse my pedigree
She said to find a jury of your peers
They'd all have to learn
To confront their fears

Tell me something I don't already know
Tell me something I don't already know
Tell me something, baby, please just tell me something

Tell me something I don't already know
Tell me something I don't already know
Tell me something, baby, please just tell me something
