You Don't Know Me

You Don't Know Me - Carmen McRae

You give your hand to me

And then you say hello

And I can hardly speak

My heart is beating so

And anyone could 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've let my chance go by

The chance you might

Have love me too

You give your hand to me

And then you say good-bye

I watch you walk away

Beside the lucky guy

To never never know

The one who loves you so

No you don't know me

You give your hand to me

And then you say good-bye

I watch you walk away

And that I want to cry

You'll never never know

The one who loves you so

No you don't know me
