"You Don't Know" is a song by American band Berlin, released in 1986 as the third single from their fourth studio album, Count Three & Pray. It was written by John Crawford and produced by Andy Richards, Bob Ezrin and Berlin.[2][3][4] It reached No. 39 in the UK and No. 16 in Belgium.[5][6]

"You Don't Know" was recorded in London.[7] Recalling the initial recording of Count Three & Pray, Nunn said in a 2014 interview for Pop Entertainment: "It was so bad with this guy in England that we trashed the whole thing. I think we kept one song, "You Don't Know," that he had done. We started all over with Bob Ezrin."[8]

A music video was filmed to promote the single, which gained breakout rotation on MTV.[9]

Upon its release, Cash Box commented: "A cool, atmospheric treatment shows the musical growth of former synth-pop pioneers. The haunting melody and non-conforming arrangement form a bracing contrast to Terri Nunn's sultry, passionate vocal."[10] Vici MacDonald of Smash Hits described the song as "really quite good" and added: "A screechy guitar and a wailsome woman echo distantly over a foreboding, rolling drumbeat and the whole thing's massive, mysterious and foggy".[11]
