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






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
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

    Dear People of the World,

    Could you please stop comparing Harry Connick JR to Michael Buble? Yes Buble has a great voice but have you ever heard of him writing a song? Have you ever seen him play an instrument? Harry Connick JR is an accomplished Pianist, Composer, and has a Velvet Voice.The only comparison you could make is that they both have ridiculously HOT wives. Though if you really compare Harry wins that to.

    A.... M....

    Nobody can compare to Harry. He is hugely talented!! Buble is a snore.

    A.... M....

    I listen rap and blues, Harry,got it!

    A.... M....

    Thank you!

    A.... M....

    You're comparing a velvet torch singer to a once in a lifetime musician and juggernaut in Harry Connick, Jr. working with big bands from the wee age of 10 years old.

    A.... M....

    @Ms Beaverhausen Well no one can play ADA David Haden as well as he did either. 😉♥ He could recipes and ingredients and I'm sure id still swoon over him.

  29. A.... M....

    All this talk about the video... The SONG is Kick Ass!.......but she is so hot.

  30. D.... T....

    Old school genius....

  31. C.... G....

    there but she is older now

  32. A.... M....

    That's his wife? What a lucky dog! She is awesome!

  33. p.... ....

    This video is very David Lee Roth

  34. M.... ....

    can't believe it took me four years to go and look up this song... I mean in Drama class in High School this was the song they assigned us for a mini musical month-long project... damn that was fun... To this day I have the Lyrics stuck in my head. beats other Memetic Annoyances these days if you ask me.
