  • I got crows at my window, dogs at my door
    I don't think I can take any more
    What am I doing wrong? I don't know
    My brother told me, "life's not a pain"
    That was right when it started to rain
    Where am I going wrong? I don't know

    But it's alright, sleep tight
    I will take the strain
    You're fine, love of mine
    You will feel no pain

    Well, I see trouble at every turn
    I've got so many lessons to learn
    What am I doing wrong? I don't know
    Now what's the matter with me?
    Am I right? Am I wrong?
    Now I started to see
    I must try to be strong
    I try to love you best as I can
    But you know that I'm only a man
    Why am I going wrong? I don't know

    Mmm, yeah, mmm
    Oh, woah, woah, woah, mhmm

    But it's alright, sleep tight
    I will take the strain
    Yeah, you're fine, little love of mine
    You will feel no pain

    I got crows at my window and dogs at my door
    But I don't think I can take anymore
    What am I doing wrong? I don't know
    Now what's the matter with me? I don't know, I don't know
    What's the matter with me? I don't know, I don't know
    What's the matter with me? I don't know, I don't know Writer/s: Paul James McCartney

  • Jorge Orihuela from Lima, Peru Hi, Paul. Your 'I don't know' song is great. I just listened to it. I had the feeling all my life was inside the song. I don't have my past anymore, but I have your songs. Thank you very much. Blessings.
