You Don't Know Me

(album: Celebrate Me Home - 1976)

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.
Well, you don't know me.

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.
Oh I'm just a friend,
That's all I've ever been.
Cause 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,
A chance that you might love me too.

You give your hand to me,
And then you say "goodbye".
I watch you walk away,
Beside the lucky guy
Oh, you'll never ever know
The one who loved you so.
Well, you don't know me.

[Guitar solo]

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,
A chance that you might love me too.

Oh, you give your hand to me,
And then you say "goodbye".
I watch you walk away
Beside the lucky guy.
Oh, you'll never ever know
The one who loved you so.
Well, you don't know me.
