Whatcha' Don't See

You see me smile a little smile and blush,
Whatcha' don't see is why.

You hear me laugh so loudly,
whatcha' don't hear is what about.

You see me nudge a friend a little below the ribs,
Whatcha' don't know is what I'm about to tell him.

You feel my touch on your shoulder or arm,
what you feel is what I feel.

You hear me call you over or on the phone,
Whatcha' don't hear is why i need you.

You hear the urgency in my voice,
Whatcha' don't hear is what happened.

You see me cry, even though I'm trying to cover it up,
Whatcha' don't know is why.

You say something and it upsets me,
Whatcha' don't know is why.

You see me dress nice with button downs and khakis,
Whatcha' don't know is that my clothes were hand-me downs or on sale.

You know who i am,
Whatcha' don't know is where i came from.

you know me,
you don't know my people.

You hug me,
Whatcha' don't know is that will make me happier than you know.
