You Don't Know Me

B.B. King · Other Songs - B.B. King

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 dreams of you each night

and longs to kiss your lips

and longs to hold you tight

to you I am just a friend

that's all I've ever been

no you don't know me



But I never knew

the art of making love

though my heart aches with love for you



afraid and shy I let my chance goes 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 the lucky guy



you'll never ever know

the one who loved you so

no, you don't know me
