You Don't Know Me
Unrevealed Longings: You Don't Know Me by Diane Schuur and B.B. King
Lyrics
You give your hand to me
You offer your hand to me.
Then you say hello
After greeting me, saying hello.
I can hardly speak
I find it difficult to express myself.
My heart is beating so
My heart is pounding with emotion.
And anyone can tell
It's apparent to everyone around.
You think you know me well
You believe you understand me deeply.
But you don't know me
However, you truly don't comprehend who I am.
No, you don't know the one
No, you lack knowledge about the person
Who dreams of you at night
Who dreams of you during the night.
And longs to kiss your lips
And yearns to kiss your lips.
And longs to hold you tight
And desires to hold you tightly.
Oh I'm just a friend
I am only a friend, nothing more.
That's all I've ever been
That's my role throughout.
'Cause you don't know me
Because your understanding of me is incomplete.
I never knew
I never grasped
The art of making love
The art of making love.
Though my heart aches
Despite my heart's yearning
With love for you
With love for you.
Afraid and shy
Fearful and reserved,
I've let my chance to go by
I've let opportunities 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 once more.
And then you say good-bye
Then, you bid farewell.
I watch you walk away
I observe you departing,
Beside the lucky guy
Beside someone fortunate.
You'll never never know
You will never truly comprehend
The one who loves you so
The one who loves you intensely.
Well, you don't know me
Indeed, you don't know me.
You give your hand to me, baby
You offer your hand again, baby.
Then you say good-bye
Then, you bid farewell once more.
I watch you walk away
I watch you depart,
Beside the lucky guy
Beside someone fortunate.
No, no, you'll never ever know
No, you will never truly understand
The one who loves you so
The one who loves you intensely.
Well, you don't know me
Indeed, you don't know me.
