Lyrics
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Although I love you so, oh, you don’t know
You don’t know just how I feel, for my love I can’t reveal
I’m so, I’m so afraid you might not care
Every time you pass me by, oh, you don’t know
You don’t know what I go through
Seeing someone else with you
Oh, I wish the one with you were me, but you don’t know
I would tell you if I believed that you might care some day
But until then, I’ll never give this away
So a secret it must stay and you don’t know
You don’t know how hard to bear
Is this one-way love affair?
For it breaks my heart to be in love when you don’t know
I would tell you if I believed that you might care some day
But until then, I’ll never give this away
So a secret it must stay and you don’t know
You don’t know how hard to bear
Is this one-way love affair?
For it breaks my heart to be in love when you don’t know
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
