Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'll never know how much I really care
Listen do you want to know a secret
Do you promise not to tell woh woh woh closer
Let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear

I've known the secret for a week or two
Listen do you want to know a secret
Do you promise not to tell woh woh woh closer
Let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear

The opening lines of Puff Daddy's "Do You Know" are a direct reference to the Beatles' 1963 hit "Do You Want to Know a Secret." The song is a classic example of early Beatles style, with John Lennon taking lead vocals and George Harrison on backing vocals. The lyrics talk about secret love between two people who want to keep their feelings hidden from the world.
In Puff Daddy's version, he recruits rappers Jay-Z and The Notorious B.I.G. to add their own verses to the mix. The song is essentially a tribute to the original, with the rappers adding their own unique spin to the lyrics. Despite the added hip-hop beats and new verses, the song remains faithful to the original's catchy chorus and secret love theme.
The song was released on Puff Daddy's 1997 album "No Way Out" and was a hit in the US, reaching number 17 on the Billboard Hot 100. It remains a popular party anthem to this day and is often played at clubs and events.

Damn Biggie was spitting that str8 flame out here... Jeeeeezus!!
[Verse 3: The Notorious B.I.G.]
Damn, it feel good to see people up on it (uh)
Flipped two keys in two weeks and didn't flaunt it (uh-huh)
My brain is haunted, with mean dreams
GS's with BB's on it, supreme schemes
To get richer than Richie, quickly
Niggas wanna hit me, if they get me
Dress my body in linen by Armani, check it
My lyrical carjack, make your brains splat
High caliber gats is all I fuck with, now peep the rough shit
In my circumference, mad bitches with mad lucci
Bulletproof vestses under they Coogi
Spitting my Uzi, don't lose me, my trigger niggas represent
Driving dirty in J-30s getting bent (uh-huh)
And to my hit hoes, my murder mamis
I be smoking trees in Belize when they find me
While you still killing niggas with punanio, like heiny
And Cyrus up in Cypress fuck you raw on the floor with the virus
While I just, slang coke, smoke pounds of choke (uh-huh)
Got lawyers watching lawyers so I won't go broke, now check it
Them country niggas call me Frank White
I'm squirting off in my loft, of course I know my shit's tight
Sunrise, open my eyes, no surprise
Got my shorty flying in with keys taped to her thighs
With all the utensils, who hang my china thing
She half-black, half-oriental, eighty-six, she got me rental
The situation ain't accidental
What? From a, from a young G's perspective...
