You Don'T Know Me
You Don’t Know Me
you have no idea who I am
or what I’m all about
or what my life has been
or all the heartaches I’ve been through
please don’t ask
so I don’t have to lie to you
you don’t know me
I’ve always kept my life to myself
never intended to share
I never believed anyone would ever care
do you really care for what I might share
or is it only questions you ask of me
would you fill my life with pain and sorrow
or would you love me past tomorrow
tonight is all we have will you stay to share
the morning light as it brightens up the day
I would give to you all that I have
and be faithful to all your needs
if only I believed you might love me
when I feel I can trust you
I will open up my heart
and be your knight in shining armor
protecting you from all harm
take hold of my arm
together we will walk through the valley of dating darkness
and we will face the sunshine together on the other side
