Lyrics

You give your hand to me

You offer your hand to me.

Then you say hello

After the greeting, you say hello.

I can hardly speak

I find it difficult to express myself.

My heart is beating so

My heart is pounding intensely.

And anyone can tell

It's apparent to anyone around.

You think you know me well

You believe you understand me deeply.

But you don't know me

Contrary to your belief, you lack true knowledge about me.


No, you don't know the one

No, you are not familiar with the person

Who dreams of you at night

Who envisions you in their dreams.

And longs to kiss your lips

And yearns to kiss your lips,

And longs to hold you tight

And longs to embrace you tightly.

Oh I'm just a friend

I am just a friend,

That's all I've ever been

That's the extent of our relationship.

'Cause you don't know me

Because you lack a true understanding of me.


I never knew

I never grasped

The art of making love

The skill of making love.

Though my heart aches

Despite my heart's yearning

With love for you

Full of love for you.

Afraid and shy

Fearful and reserved,

I've let my chance to go by

I let the opportunity slip away.

The chance that you might

The opportunity that you might

Love me, too

Love me in return.


You give your hand to me

You extend your hand to me again.

And then you say good-bye

Then you bid farewell.

I watch you walk away

I observe you departing

Beside the lucky guy

Next to the fortunate man.

You'll never never know

You will never, never comprehend

The one who loves you so

The one who loves you profoundly.

Well, you don't know me

Indeed, you do not truly know me.


You give your hand to me, baby

You offer your hand to me, baby.

Then you say good-bye

Then you say farewell.

I watch you walk away

I watch you depart

Beside the lucky guy

Alongside the fortunate man.

No, no, you'll never ever know

No, no, you will never, ever understand

The one who loves you so

The one who loves you profoundly.

Well, you don't know me

Indeed, you do not truly know me.
