[Verse 1]
You give your hand to thee, and you said "Hello"
I can't hardly speak, my heart is beating so
Anyone can tell you think you know me well

[Hook]
But you don't know me, uh (You don't know me)

[Verse 2]
No, you don't know the one
Who dreams of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips, longs to hold you tight
Oh, I'm just a friend
That's all I've ever been

[Hook]
But you don't know me, uh huh (You don't know me)

[Verse 3]
I never knew the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you
A prayed and shined, I let my chance go by
A chance that you might love me too, oh lord
(You might love me too)

[Verse 4]
No, you don't know the one
Who dreams of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips, longs to hold you tight
Oh, I'm just a friend
That's all I've ever been
[Hook]
But you don't know me, don't know me

[Verse 5]
(I never knew) I never knew, I never knew
(The art of making love) The art of making love
(Though my heart, it can burn for you)
Extra love for you, ooh
(I prayed and shined) So I prayed, so I prayed
(I let my chance go by) Tryin' to shine
I let my chance, my chance go by, oh babe
(Ooh, I love you true)
Ooh woo

[Verse 6]
Lord, you don't know the one
Who dreams of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips, and just wanna hold you tight
Oh, anyone can tell
You think you know me well

[Hook]
But you don't know me, oh ho (You don't know me)

[Outro]
Oh, anyone can tell
You think you know me well
You don't know me, mama (You don't know me)
You don't know me, you don't know me
