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 To you I'm just a friend, and that's all I've ever been 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 The chance that you might love me too
You give your hand to me and then you say good-bye I watch you walk away beside the lucky guy To never, never know the one who loves you so No, you don't know me
"YOU DON'T KNOW ME" Written by Eddy Arnold & Cindy Walker
Fine version of this hit by Eddy Arnold in 1956, Lenny Welch in 1960 and Ray Charles in 1962. Faster in the film-the studio version was more carefully crafted. Released as a single with Big Boss Man on the flip side and on the soundtrack LP (1967). Later on the LP Elvis Sings Hits From His Movies Vol.1 (1972) and on the Elvis Double Features CD Kissin' Cousins/Clambake/Stay Away Joe (1993).
