I Didn't Know About You

I Didn't Know About You
music by Duke Ellington
lyric by Bob Russell

I went around with my own little crowd; the usual laughs, not often but loud;
And in the world that I knew I didn't know about you.

Chasing after the ring on the merry-go-round,
Just taking my fun where it could be found and yet what else could I do?
I didn't know about you...

Darling, now I know I had the loneliest yesterday, every day.
In your arms I know for once in my life I'm living...

Had a good time every time I went out; romance was the thing I kidded about.
How could I know about love?
I didn't know about you...
