[Verse 1]
When I pass you on the street
And I wanna yell, "Come back"
Don't tell 'em that you know me
And when I'm standin' next to ya in a crowded room
And I wanna yell, "Come back"
(Don't tell 'em that you know me)

[Chorus]
Don't let on
Don't let on
Don't let on
When they try and drive you out of your head
Just turn instead, say you don't know me

[Verse 2]
And when I call your name out loud in a dream
Don't tell 'em that you know me
And when they look you in the eye
'Cause eyes never lie
Don't tell 'em that you know me

[Chorus]
Don't let on
Don't let on
Don't let on
When they try and drive you out of your head
Just turn instead, say you don't know me
Just say you don't know me (Know me, know me, know me)
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
And when I talk too much about you
And they look for my reaction
Don't tell 'em that you know me
And when I try too hard to hide it
I look quick for some distraction
'Cause I can't let it show on me

[Chorus]
Don't let on
Oh no, don't let on
No, no, no, don't let on
When they try and drive you out of your head
Just turn instead, say you don't know me

[Outro]
Just say you don't know me
Don't tell 'em that you know me
Just say you don't know me
Don't tell 'em that you know me
Don't tell 'em that you know me
Shh, don't tell 'em that you know me
Shh, don't tell 'em that you know me
Shh, don't tell 'em that you know me
Don't tell 'em that you know me
