Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole - You Don't Know Me Lyrics

You give your hand to me and you say, "Hello"

And I can hardly speak, my heart is beating so

But you'll never know, the one who loved you so

You don't know me

And you don't know the one who dreams of you at night

And longs to kiss your lips and longs to hold you tight

But I'm just a friend that's all I've ever been

You don't know me

I never knew the art of making love

Though my heart aches with love for you, ooh

Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by

A chance, you might love me too, ooh

You give your hand to me then you say, "Goodbye"

I watched you walk away beside the lucky guy

But you'll never ever know, the one who loved you so

You don't know me

I never knew the art of making love

And my heart aches with love for you, ooh

Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by

A chance, you might love me too

You give your hand to me and you say, "Goodbye"

I watched you walk away beside the lucky guy

But I'm just a friend, it's all I ever been

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