Nobody Knows How I Feel about You1<\/a><\/sup><\/h1>\n<\/header>\n
\n
\n

(As sung by Layton and Johnstone2<\/a><\/sup>.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Nobody knows how I feel about you<\/p>\n

Everybody knows what you\u2019ve done to me.<\/p>\n

It seems only yesterday the skies were so blue<\/p>\n

And now to-day life\u2019s just a stormy sea.<\/p>\n

Yesterday my heart was so full of poetry,<\/p>\n

And now there ain\u2019t nothin\u2019 for me to say or to do.<\/p>\n

Everybody knows what you\u2019ve done to me,<\/p>\n

Nobody knows how I feel about you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I\u2019m glad that I ain\u2019t an elephant in the Zoo.<\/p>\n

I guess you\u2019d hand me up a sawdust bun.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m glad I ain\u2019t a whale to be harpooned by you.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m glad I ain\u2019t got your ideas of fun.<\/p>\n

You\u2019se the sort that likes to get folks on the run,<\/p>\n

You\u2019se the sort that gives the last twist to the screw<\/p>\n

But how could you do the things that you\u2019ve done,<\/p>\n

When I hadn\u2019t done nothin\u2019 to you?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Somewhere up above, if the good book\u2019s true,<\/p>\n

Somebody\u2019s gwine to wipe away the tears.<\/p>\n

Honey, that ain\u2019t just what\u2019s coming to you.<\/p>\n

You\u2019se gwine to pay up some of your arrears.<\/p>\n

Maybe when I\u2019m climbin\u2019 up the golden stairs,<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll be down below an\u2019 you\u2019ll be feelin\u2019 blue,<\/p>\n

An\u2019 I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if a tinglin\u2019 in you ears<\/p>\n

Told you what the angels thought about you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

[Geoffrey Faber]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
