You Dont Know Me Lyrics

Artist: Ray Charles
Album: You Dont Know Me

You give your hand to me
And then you say hello
I can hardly speak
My heart is beating so
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well
But you don't know me

Oh you don't know the one
That thinks of you at night
Who longs to kiss your lips
And yearns to squeeze you tight
No I'm just a friend
That's all I've ever been
You just don't know me

I never knew the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by
The chance that you might love me too

You give your hand to me
And then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away
Beside the lucky guy
You'll never, never know
The one who loves you so
You just don't know me

I never knew the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by
The chance that you might love me too

You give your hand to me
And then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away
Beside the lucky guy
Who'll never, never know
The one who loves you so
You just don't know me

You'll never, ever know
mmmm, cause you just don't know me

Correct Lyrics:
"That DREAMS of you at night"
"who longs to kiss you lips"
"And LONGS to HOLD you tight"

Top song, may as well get it right!

Superb song. It was sung beautifully by John Legend on the Larry David show and it just captures a moment. However Ray Charles cannot be beaten and it is absolute magic when you hear him sing it.

I'm 63. First album I owned was a Ray Charles one & it was the first time I heard the song. I think it is the second best song ever written. Over The Rainbow is #1 of course.

I love Ray since my child hood, but this day his music mean a lot to me. I listen his music when am happy, sad, cheer up, with people around me & also feel lonely. He mean every thing to me. Specialy this music & Siners prayer are diffrent. God bless you Ray!
