I Don’t Know What He Told You Lyrics

I don't know what he told you
The stranger at the party
I only know you met him
An' now you can't forget him
He's a stranger no more!

I can't believe it happened
I never dreamed you'd leave me
We were so good together
I thought we'd share forever
The love we had before!

Is there an explanation to ease my sorrow?
Is it infatuation, will it fade tomorrow?
Until you let me know, my love won't let me go
My heart won't close the door!

And while you make your mind up
I beg you to remember

Although his arms may hold you
I don't know what he told you
But he couldn't love you more!

Instrumental break
Until you let me know, my love won't let me go
My heart won't close the door!

And while you make your mind up
I beg you to remember
Although his arms may hold you
I don't know what he told you
But he couldn't love you more!

. . . he couldn't love you more!

Original Italian Words and Music by Giulio Rapetti, Elio Cesari, Alberto Testa

How to Format Lyrics:

  • 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 [?]
