You Don't Know Me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You give your hand to me
And then you say hello
And I can hardly speak
My heart is beating so
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well
But you don't know me
No you don't know the one
Who thinks of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips
And yearns to hold you tight
To you I'm just a friend
That's all I've ever been
No, you don't know me
For I never knew
The art of making love
Though my heart aches
With love for you
Afraid and shy
I let my chance go by
The chance that you might
Love me too
You give your hand to me
And then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away
Beside that lucky guy
You'll never, never know
The one who loves you so
No, you don't know me
For I never knew
The art of making love
Though my heart aches
With love for you
Afraid and shy
I let my chance go by
The chance that you might
Love me too
You give your hand to me
And then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away
Beside that lucky guy
You'll never, never know
The one who loves you so
No, you don't know me
You'll never, ever know
No, you don't know me
