The Half of It Dearie Blues (1959 Stereo Version)

I've got the "you don't know the half of it, dearie" blues

Oh, how I wish you'd drop that anger and end your cruise

You're just a duffer who makes me suffer

All the younger set says your heart's to let

I've got the "you don't know the half of it, dearie" bluesI'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; we'll 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
