I Didn't Know About You Black, Brown and Beige (12-01-44) - Duke Ellington

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 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, everyday

In your arms

I know for once in my life, I’m living

Had a good time, everytime I went out

Romance was a thing, I kidded about

How could I know about love

I didn’t know about you

Darling, now I know

I had the loneliest yesterday, everyday

In your arms

I know for once in my life, I’m living

Had a good time, everytime I went out

Romance was a thing, I kidded about

How could I know about love

I didn’t know about you

I didn’t know about you
