Lyrics

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
Hell, you don't know me
You don't know me

You don't know the one
Who dreams of you at night;
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
You don't know me

You, you just don't know me
'Cause I never knew the art of making love
Though my heart, oh my heart, oh my heart
Is aching just for you
Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by
The chance that you might learn to love me too

You give your hand to me
And then you say, you say, "goodbye."
I watch you walk away
Wishing you were mine
You'll never ever know the girl who loves you so
You don't know me. no, no, baby

You don't know me
No, no, no, no, no, no, baby, baby
You don't know me, know me, know me
Please know me
Late in the midnight hour
I dream of you only
But I am lonely
Please know me
Be my baby. c'mon, be my baby
Late in the midnight hour
I live for you, baby
Why don't you know me?
Be my baby
Why you mean to me?
Mean to me
