187 - You Don’t Know Me
Verse 1
You give your hand to me and then you say hello
And I can hard-ly speak my heart is beat-ing so
And any-one could tell you think you know me well,
But you don’t know me.
Verse 2
No you don’t know the one who dreams of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips and longs to hold you tight
To you I’m just a friend, that’s all I’ve ev-er been,
But you don’t know me.
Middle 8
For I never knew the art of making love,
Though my heart-ached-with love for you.
A-fraid and shy, I let my chance go by
The chance you might have loved me too.
Verse 3
You give your hand to me and then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away with teardrops in my eyes
To nev-er nev-er know the one who loves you so
No, you don’t know me.
INSTRUMENTAL first half of Middle 8
Middle 8 second half repeat
A-fraid and shy, I let my chance go by
The chance you might have loved me too.
Verse 3 repeat
You give your hand to me and then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away with teardrops in my eyes
To nev-er nev-er know the one who loves you so
No, you don’t know me.
