Don't You Know I Care? - Duke Ellington & His Orchestra

Don’t you know I care

Or don’t you care to know?

If you know I care

How could you hurt me so?

Darling, you are part

Of every breath I take

Will you break my heart

Or give my heart a break?

I can’t figure out what love’s all about

And where I fit into your scheme

Am I wasting time?

Please tell me

'Cause I’m down to my last dream

Won’t you please be fair?

Love me or let me go

Don’t you know I care

Or don’t you care to know?
