Lyrics
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
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
I didn't know what day it was
You held my hand
Warm like the month of May it was
And I'll say it was grand
And now I know I had the loneliest yesterday
Every day in your arms
I know for once in my life I'm living
I had a good time every time I went out
And romance was a thing I kidded about
How could I know about love?
I didn't know a thing about you
Written by: Bob Russell, Duke Ellington
