I Don’t Know Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You say you want to be my lover
Oh, you tell me so
You say there's never been another
Oh, (oh, oh), oh, I don't know

[Verse 2]
You offer me this sacred token
Your chastity, a precious stone
You say these words you've never spoken
Oh, oh, oh, I don't know

[Bridge]
Eternal lasting love together
You vowed to me that we could share
I could've lived with you forever
Tell me why should I care?

[Verse 3]
You say you want to be my lover
Oh, you tell me so
You swear therе's never been another
Oh, (oh, oh), oh, I don't know

[Chorus]
Ooh, ooh-ooh, hmm, mm, mm-mm, mm, mm, mm-mm
Oh, I don't know
Ooh, ooh-ooh, hmm, mm, mm-mm, mm, mm, mm-mm
I don't know
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, I don't know
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
I don't know
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
I don't know
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh ...

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
