You don't know me
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

Anyway, I like this song so much I decided to post it, even if I did post it before.
If you get the chance pick up the album "Genius Love Company" by Ray Charles and others. Also give a listen to "Duets" by Tony Bennett and others. Both are works of art.

Here's another of my favorites,
I'll be home, my darling
Please wait for me (wait for me)
We'll stroll along together
Once more our love will be free
At the corner drugstore
Each Saturday we would meet (we would meet)
I'd walk you home in the moonlight
All of these things we'll repeat
So darling, as I write this letter
Here's hoping you're thinking of me
My mind's made up
I'll be home, my darling

As far as I'm concerned, the Flamingos never made a bad record! I have lots of their 45's, though I admit I never play them anymore. (Have everything on my PC!)

Do you remember the Skyliners. I think their "Since I Don't Have You" is right up there with "I'll Be Home" as one of the all time great DooWop songs.
I don't have plans and schemes,
And I don't have hopes and dreams,
I-I-I don't have anything
Since I don't have you.
I don't have fond desires,
And I don't have happy hours,
I-I-I don't have anything
Since I don't have you.
I don't have happiness, and I guess
I never will again.
When you walked out on me,
In walked old misery,
And he's been here since then.
I don't have love to share,
And I don't have one who cares.
I-I-I don't have anything
Since--I don't--have--
You, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
(Yo-o-o-o-o-o-o-ou
