You Don't Know Me - Ray Charles

You give your hand to me
And then you say, "Hello."
And I can hardly speak,
My heart is beating so.
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well.
Well, you don't know me.
(no you don't know me)

No you don't know the one
Who dreams of you at night;
And longs to kiss your lips
And longs to hold you tight
Oh I'm just a friend.
That's all I've ever been.
Cause you don't know me.
(no you don't know me)

For 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.
A chance that you might love me too.
(love me too)

You give your hand to me,
And then you say, "Goodbye."
I watched you walk away,
Beside the lucky guy
Oh, you'll never ever know
The one who loved you so.
Well, you don't know me

"I know you think that I shouldn't still love you,
Or tell you that.

But if I didn't say it, well i'd still have felt it
Where's the sense in that?

I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were

But I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

I know I left to much mess and
destruction to come back again

And I caused nothing but trouble
I understand if you can't talk to me again

But I will go down with this ship
And I wont put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be"

If there was nothing that I could say
Turned your back and you just walked away
Leaves me numb inside, I think of you
Together is all I knew

We moved too fast but I had no signs
I would try to turn the hands of time
I look to you for a reason why
The love we had passed me by

And as the sun would set, you would rise
Fall from the sky into paradise
Is there no light in your heart for me
You've closed your eyes, you no longer see

You could give a million reasons change the world and change the tides
Could not give me the secrets of your heart and of your mind

In the darkness that surrounds me now, there is no peace of mind
Your careless words undo me, leave the thought of us behind

You could give a million reasons change the world and change the time
Could not give me the secrets of your heart and of your mind

In the darkness that surrounds you now, there is no peace of mind
Your careless words undo me, leave the thought of us behind
