Fontella Bass — You'll Never Know

As I stand here, in the shadows,
with tears, streaming, down my face.
I can see you, with another,
the one, who has, taken my place.

And it hurts me, oh it hurts me,
but you'll never, no never, ever know.

I remember, how you kissed me,
and held me, oh so close.
And you whispered, that you loved me,
oh you loved me, loved me so.

Now you're hurtin' me, oh you're hurting me,
but you'll never, no never, ever know.

Tomorrow will be, another day,
and I'll smile, and be, oh so gay.
And I'll try so hard to hide,
all the pain I feel inside.
But I, I, I still remember.

And it hurts me, oh it hurts me,
but you'll never, no never, ever know.

And it hurts me, yeah, yeah it hurts me,
but you'll never, no never, ever know.
