You Don't Know Me

Jan Howard · This Is Jan Howard Country [Decca] [1967]

(Cindy Walker - Eddy Arnold)



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 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 ever been

But 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 you might have loved me too.



You give your hand to me and then you say goodbye

I watch you walk away with teardrops in my eyes

You'll never, never know the one who loves you so

Mo, you don't know me.



You'll never, never know the one who loves you so

No, you don't know me...
