Know The Half Of It Dearie Blues |
Each time you trill |
A song with Will |
Or look at Bill |
I get a chill |
I’m gloomy |
I won’t recall |
The names of all |
The men who fall |
It’s all appall- |
Ing to me |
Of course, I really cannot blame them a bit |
For you’re a hit |
Wherever you flit |
I know it’s so |
But dearie, oh |
You’ll never know |
The blues that go |
Right through me |
I’ve got the «you don’t know the half of it, dearie» blues |
The trouble is you have so many from whom to choose |
If you should marry |
Tom, Dick, or Harry |
Life would be the bunk |
I’d become a monk |
I’ve got the «you don’t know the half of it, dearie» blues |
To Bill and Ben |
I’d pay atten- |
Tion now and then |
But really men |
Would bore me |
When I’d begun |
To think I’d run |
And be a nun |
I met the one |
Man for me |
And now just when the sun is starting to beam |
You get engaged |
Zip! |
goes a dream |
What will I do |
Away from you? |
I feel the fu- |
Ture will be blue |
And stormy |
I’ve got the «you don’t know the half of it, dearie» blues |
It may be my heart isn’t broken, but there’s a bruise |
Through you, I’ve known some |
Days that were lonesome |
Though you say that I’m |
Flirting all the time |
I’ve got the «you don’t know the half of it, dearie» blues |
I’ve got the «you don’t know the half of it, dearie» blues |
Although I know that love’s a gamble, I hate to lose |
Life will be duller |
Will have no color |
Jill without a Jack |
Makes the future black |
I’ve got the «you don’t know the half of it, dearie» blues |
I’ve got the «you don’t know the half of it, dearie» blues |
(dance break) |
I’ve got the «you don’t know the half of it, dearie» blues |
Each time I try to kiss my baby, I get bad news |
With your permission |
My one ambition |
Was to go through life |
Saying, «Meet the wife.» |
I’ve got the «you don’t know the half of it, dearie» blues |
