Duke Ellington — I Didnt Know About You Sentimental Lady

[Verse 1] 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 [Bridge] Darling, now I know I had the loneliest yesterday, every day In your arms I know for once in my life, I'm living [Verse 2] 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 [Instrumental]
