They Don't Know

People everywhere are smiling
Each time I pass them by
Softly, you can hear them whispering
(There goes a lucky guy)

There goes a lucky car
He's got a brand new motorcar
Happy little house to live in
Very soon he'll find a wife
And then the family begins

But they don't know
That the girl I really love
Is somebody else's wife
And if I only had her love
That would complete my life

My friends congratulate me
(Hello Jimmy)
For the songs that I sing
But if my friends only knew you
And the pain that those songs bring
But they don't know

My friends congratulate me
(Hello Jimmy)
For the songs that I sing
But if my friends only knew you
And the pain that those songs bring

But they don't know
And they can never know, no
How could they know?
You never know
