Do You Know?
Barbara & Ernie Lyrics

The lyrics to Barbara & Ernie's song "Do You Know" express deep affection and love towards someone, coupled with a sense of secrecy. The first two lines convey a profound love that is difficult to fully express or articulate. The words "You'll never know how much I really love you" suggest that the singer's love is so immense that it cannot be fully understood or comprehended by the person they are addressing. The following line, "You'll never know how much I really care," emphasizes the singer's genuine concern and emotional investment in the relationship.

The subsequent lines introduce a sense of secrecy and a desire to share a secret with the listener. The phrase "Listen do you want to know a secret" implies that the singer has confidential information they wish to share. They ask for a promise not to disclose this secret to anyone else. The repetition of "woh woh woh closer" adds a sense of urgency and intimacy, as if the singer is trying to draw the listener closer to them.

The following lines further emphasize the singer's desire to share their love and feelings. They want to whisper the words the listener longs to hear, suggesting that the singer's affection is reciprocated. The final line, "I'm in love with you," reveals the secret that the singer has been keeping for a week or two, emphasizing the intimacy and exclusivity of their connection.
