You don't know me well

I don't have your heart

I've been under your spell right from the start

You don't know how strong
F
You don't know how true

If I ever break your heart (if I ever break your heart)
F                    G
If I ever break your heart

I think I'd die

You were on my mind
F
You were in my sleep

You were one of a kind, I wanted you deep

I didn't even know your name
F
I'd never seen your face

I don't need nothin' but the clothes on my back

            C
I think I'd die
