don't you think i ought to know

Singer:fitzgerald, ella

what they're saying

is it true

that your love is burning low?

if you've found somebody new

don't you think i ought to know?

dining at the club alone

i can feel the people stare;

do you think i'm made of stone?

don't you think i ought to care?

you know

darlin'

i've always had

such faith in you and the yarns you've spun

but

like a fool

i've lived and learned

that half a love is worse than none

if i can't have all of you

though i can't believe it's so

if you really mean you're through

don't you think i ought to know?

you know

darlin'

i've always had

such faith in you and the yarns you've spun

but

like a fool

i've lived and learned

that half a love is worse than none

if i can't have all of you

though i can't believe it's so

if you really mean you're through

don't you think i ought to know?
