Did'n You (Alternate Take)

I didn't know about you

Count basie

Music and lyrics by：duke ellington and bob russell

I wen t around with my own little croud

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

Evry day

In your arms I know for once in my life

I'm living

Had a good time evry time I went out

Romance was the thing I kidded about

How could I know about love

I didn't know about you
