You Don't Know Me
Unrequited Echoes: Michael Bolton's Heartfelt Plea
Lyrics
You give your hand to me
You offer your hand to me.
And then you say hello
Afterward, you greet me.
I can hardly speak
I find it difficult to articulate.
My heart is beating so
My heart is pounding intensely.
And anyone can tell
It's apparent to anyone.
You think you know me well
You believe you understand me well.
But you don't know me
However, you lack true knowledge of me.
No you don't know the one
No, you are not acquainted with the person
Who thinks of you at night
Who contemplates you during the night.
And longs to kiss your lips
Yearns to touch your lips,
Longs to hold you tight
Longs to embrace you tightly.
Oh I am just a friend
Oh, I am just a companion,
That's all I've ever been
That's the entirety of my existence.
Cause you don't know me
Because your understanding is incomplete.
Well I never knew the art of making love
Previously, I lacked the skill of lovemaking.
No my heart aches with love for you
Now, my heart is in pain due to love for you.
Afraid and shy I let my chance go by
Fearful and reserved, I missed my opportunity.
The chance that you might love me too
The opportunity for you to reciprocate my love.
You give your hand to me
You extend your hand to bid farewell.
And then you say goodbye
And then you part ways with me.
I watch you walk away beside the lucky guy
I observe you leave with the fortunate man.
Oh you will never know
You will never comprehend
The one who loves you so
The one who adores you profoundly.
Cause you don't know me
Because your understanding remains incomplete.
Afraid and shy I let my chance go by
Fearful and reserved, I let my chance escape.
The chance that you might love me too
The chance for you to love me as well.
You give your hand to me
You offer your hand to me once more.
And then you say goodbye
And then you bid me farewell again.
I watch you walk away beside the lucky guy
I watch you depart with the fortunate man.
Oh you will never know
You will remain unaware
The one who loves you so
Of the one who loves you so deeply.
Cause you don't know me
Because you don't truly know me.
No, you don't know me
No, your understanding of me is incomplete.
