You Don't Know Me (Eddie Arnold)
Lyrics
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
(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)
Oh, 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
(you don't love me, you don't know me)
The Shirelles es un grupo musical de música pop creado en 1958 y desaparecido en 1982. Las vocalistas eran un cuarteto de féminas junto a Martha and the Vandellas, la primera girlsband realmente popular. Aunque la capacidad vocal no era sobresaliente, la banda ganó en popularidad, sobre todo gracias a unas composiciones pegadizas, al efecto de la publicidad y a un estilo juvenil fresco y a la inocencia que las rodeaba. Sus mayores éxitos fueron I Met Him on a Sunday, Will You Love Me Tomorrow, Mama Said, Soldier Boy y Foolish Little Girl. (Wikipedia)
Crazy, I'm crazy for feeling so lonely I'm crazy, crazy for feeling so blue I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted And then someday you'd leave me for somebody new
Worry, why do I let myself worry? Wond'ring what in the world did I do? Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying And I'm crazy for loving you
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying And I'm crazy for loving you.
Rod Stewart deja por algun tiempo el Rock para interpretar melodías inolvidables como "My Foolish Heart"
"My Foolish Heart". (N.Washington, VictorYoung) The night is like a lovely tune Beware my foolish heart How white the ever constant moon Take care, my foolish heart. There's a line between love and fascination That's so hard to see on an evening such as this For they broke in the very same sensation When you are lost in the passion of a kiss. Oh! her lips are much too close to mine Beware my foolish heart But should our eager lips combine Then let the fire start. For this time it isn't fascination Or a dream that will fade and fall apart It's love this time, it's love, my foolish heart. There's a line between love and fascination That's so hard to see on an evening such as this For they broke in the very same sensation When you are lost in the passion of a kiss, oh yeah. Oh! her lips are much too close to mine Beware my foolish heart But should our eager lips combine Then let the fire start. For this time it isn't fascination Or a dream that will fade and fall apart It's love this time, it's love, my foolish heart
So I'm back, to the velvet
underground
Back to the floor, that I love
To a room with some lace
and paper flowers
Back to the gypsy
that I was
To the gypsy...
that I was
And it all comes down to you
Well, you know that it does
Well, lightning strikes,
maybe once, maybe twice
Ah, and it lights up the night
And you see your gypsy
You see your gypsy
To the gypsy that remains
faces freedom with a little fear
I have no fear, I have only love
And if I was a child
And the child was enough
Enough for me to love
Enough to love
She is dancing away from me now
She was just a wish
She was just a wish
And a memory is all
that is left for you now
You see your gypsy
You see your gypsy
Lightning strikes,
maybe once, maybe twice
And it all comes down to you
And it all comes down to you
Lightning strikes,
maybe once, maybe twice
And it all comes down to you
I still see your bright eyes,
bright eyes
And it all comes down to you
I still see your bright eyes,
bright eyes
And it all comes down to you
I still see your bright eyes,
bright eyes
(She was just a wish)
(She was just a wish)
And it all comes down to you
Lightning strikes,
maybe once, maybe twice
And it all comes down to you
