Standard (EADGBE)

You give your hand to me and then you say hello and I can hardly speak

 My heart is beating so

 And anyone could tell you think you know me well

but 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

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

But 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

The chance that you might love me too

Solo

 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

The chance that you might love me too

You give your hand to me and then you say goodbye

 I watch you walk away and in my heart I cry

 To never never know the one who loves you so cause you don't know me
