Lay my head on the surgeon s table
Take my fingerprints if you are able
Pick my brains pick my pockets
Steal my eyeballs and come back for the sockets
Run every kind of test from A to Z
And you ll still know nothing bout me

Run my name though your computer
Mention me in passing to your college tutor
Check my records check my facts
Check if I paid my income tax
Pore over everything in my C.V.
But you ll still know nothing bout me
You ll still know nothing bout me

You don t need to read no books on my history
I m a simple man, it s no big mystery
In the cold weather, a hand needs a glove
At times like this, a lonely man like me needs love

Search my house with a fine tooth comb
Turn over everything cause I won t be at home
Set up your microscope and tell me what you see
You ll still know nothing bout me
