Emmylou Harris - You Don't Know Me Lyrics

(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
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 let my chance go by
The chance that you might have loved me too.

--- Instrumental ---

No, I never knew the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy let my chance go by
The chance that you might have loved me too.

You give your hand to me and then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away and in my heart I cry
You'll never, never know the one who loves you so
'Cause you don't know me...
