Lyrics
You'll never know how much I really love you

You'll never know how much I really care

Listen, do you want to know a secret?

Do you promise not to tell?

Whoa-oh-oh, closer

Let me whisper in your ear

Say the words you long to hear

I'm in love with you, ooh

Listen (doo da do), do you want to know a secret? (doo da do)

Do you promise not to tell? (doo da do)

Whoa-oh-oh, closer (doo da do)

Let me whisper in your ear (doo da do)

Say the words you long to hear

I'm in love with you, ooh

I've known a secret for a week or two

Nobody knows, just we two

Listen (doo da do), do you want to know a secret? (doo da do)

Do you promise not to tell? (doo da do)

Whoa-oh-oh, closer (doo da do)

Let me whisper in your ear (doo da do)

Say the words you long to hear

I'm in love with you, ooh, ooh, ooh

History
Recorded for the Please Please Me album, Do You Want To Know A Secret was written by John Lennon and sung by George Harrison. Lennon based the song on Wishing Well from Walt Disney’s 1937 animated feature film Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs. The song was later given to Billy J Kramer and the Dakotas, another group managed by Brian Epstein. Lennon recorded a demo while in a Hamburg nightclub’s toilet; he claimed it was the only place quiet enough to record in. At the end of the demo, now sadly lost, he pulled the lavatory chain. The Dakotas recorded it at their debut session at Abbey Road on March 14 1963, and later that year it reached number one in the singles charts.
