Duke Ellington
I Didn’t Know About You
I ran 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 rain 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 a thing I kidded about
How could I know about love
I didn't know about you
How could I know about love
I didn’t know about you
