Chorus 1:

I get a tender glow
Each time he says, "Hello";
I'm warm inside
And starry-eyed,
It's strange he doesn't know.
He doesn't know how much I long to hold him.
He doesn't know the secret ways I've told him.
My heart's out on a limb,
My chances may be slim;
I love the guy,
So I must try 
To get it through to him.
I'm trav'lin' down a one-way love
With no place else to go;
I'm his for keeps,
But Cupid sleeps,
Because he doesn't know.

Chorus 2:

I get a tender glow
Each time he says, "Hello";
I'm warm inside
And starry-eyed,
It's strange he doesn't know.
He doesn't know how much I long to hold him.
He doesn't know the secret ways I've told him.
My heart's out on a limb,
My chances may be slim;
I love the guy,
So I must try 
To get it through to him.
I'm trav'lin' down a one-way love
With no place else to go;
He's not aware
How much I care,
Because he doesn't know.
