You Never Know
Shape: U.K. & Chic Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't ask me how I feel inside, just know
I'll never let you know
I'll never let you know
I'll never let you
Don't ask me how I feel inside, just know
I'll never let you know
I'll never let you know
I'll never let you

Heart is so cold
Heart is so froze
Nobody else knows
Cause I keep nobody close
Might call it afraid
Might call it a shame
Might call it insane
Whatever, to me its the same
Don't ask me how I feel inside, just know
I'll never let you know
I'll never let you know
I'll never let you
Don't ask me how I feel inside, just know
I'll never let you know
I'll never let you know
I'll never let you
In my darkness, feels like home
Empty dark cloud, on my own

Greet my demons in my dome
I'm by myself but, no I'm not alone

Line by Line Meaning

No love, no nothin'
I am not interested in anyone or anything else

Until my baby comes home
Until the person I love returns to me

No sir, no nothin'
I won't change my mind

As long as baby may roam
Even if the person I love is not around

I promised him to wait for him
I made a commitment to wait for the person I love

'Till even Hades froze
I will wait forever if I have to

I'm lonesome heaven knows
I am very lonely

But what I said still goes
I am sticking to my promise

And that's a promise I'll keep
I will not break my promise

No fun with no one
I am not interested in having fun without the person I love

I'm getting plenty of sleep
I am sleeping a lot
