I Didn't Know About You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
