The song "Whoever Counted on This" on page forty-five has been titled "The Way I Feel"
After having returned from the men's swimming home, we find Yentl perplexed my a new set of feelings, unfamiliar ones, which are the awakening of her own sexuality

There's no chill and yet I shiver
There's no flame and yet I burn
I'm not sure what I'm afraid of and yet I'm trembling
There's no storm yet I hear thunder
And I'm breathless why I wonder
Weak one moment, then the next, I'm fine

I feel as if I'm falling every time I close my eyes
And flowing through my body is a river of surprise
Feelings are awakening, I hardly recognize as mine

What are all these new sensations, what's the secret they reveal?
I'm not sure I understand, but I like the way I feel

Oh, why is it that every time I close my eyes, he's there?
The water shining on his skin, the sunlight in his hair
And all the while, I'm thinking things that I can never share with him

I'm a bundle of confusion, yet it has a strange appeal
Did it all begin with him and the way he makes me feel?
I like the way he makes me feel
