you don t know me

Madeleine Peyroux

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
Well, you don t know me
I never knew the art of making love
Know 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 watched you walk away
Beside that lucky guy
To never ever know
The one who loved you so
Well, you don t know me

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 watched you walk away
Beside the lucky guy
To never ever know
The one who loved you so
Well, you don t know me

You don t know me
