"You Don't Know"

This song appears on my 1986 tape “Not Here,” which is probably my darkest recording. I hear an owl outside my window. That’s the second time I’ve heard him lately.

You Don't Know

© 1985 Brian Hutzell

You're steady with him

Have been for some time

As long as I've known you

He's left you again

But he will return

Until then you feel lonely

Give me a call

Tell me you trust me

Come over

Stay the night

I accept your invitation

Come closer

Hold me tight

I'll be your consolation

Come sleep with me tonight

You test my self-control

You don't know how lonely you are

You love your man

You have for too long

To forget the fact

But when you're alone

You need someone else

I step in

I feel lonely

I'll pretend you really want me

Come over

Stay the night

I accept your invitation

Come closer

Hold me tight

I'll be your consolation

Come sleep with me tonight

You test my self-control

You don't know how lonely you are

You don't know how lonely you are

You don't know how lonely he is

You don't know how lonely I am

And you never will till one of us leaves

You say you're loyal

Dressed in angel white

But where is your halo

You've lost it again

He must know by now

What do you think he's thinking?

Give it a thought

Forget about me

Come over

Stay the night

I accept your invitation

Come closer

Hold me tight

I'll be your consolation

Come sleep with me tonight

You test my self-control

You don't know how lonely you are
