You Don't Know Me
Unseen Longings: The Hidden Emotions in Nancy Wilson's 'You Don't Know Me'
Lyrics
You give your hand to me
You offer your hand to me
And then you say hello
Afterwards, you greet me
And I can hardly speak
I struggle to express myself
My heart is beating so
My heart is pounding intensely
And anyone can tell
It's apparent to everyone
You think you know me well
You believe you understand me well
But you don't know me
However, you lack true knowledge about me
No, you don't know the one
No, you are not acquainted with the person
Who dreams of you at night
The one who envisions you in their dreams
And longs to kiss your lips
And yearns to kiss your lips
And longs to hold you tight
Also, yearns to embrace you tightly
To you I'm just a friend
To you, I'm merely a friend
That's all I've ever been
That's the extent of our relationship
But you don't know me
Yet, you lack understanding about me
For I never knew the art of making love
Because I never mastered the art of making love
Though my heart ached with love for you
Even though my heart was filled with love for you
Afraid and shy i let my chance go by
Fearful and reserved, I let my opportunity slip away
The chance, you might have loved me too
The chance that you might have reciprocated my love
You give your hand to me
Again, you extend your hand to me
And then you say goodbye
Then, you bid farewell
I watch you walk away tear drops fill my eye
I observe you walking away, tears filling my eyes
To never, never know
To never, never understand
The one who loves you so
The one who loves you so deeply
No, you don't know me
No, you lack awareness of me
To never, never know
To never, never comprehend
The one who loves you so you don't know me
The one who loves you intensely, you remain unaware of me
