I Never Know When - Elaine Stritch

作词：Joan Ford/Walter Kerr/Jean Kerr/Leroy Anderson

作曲：Joan Ford/Walter Kerr/Jean Kerr/Leroy Anderson

I knew on the day I met him he wasn't the man for me

I knew I should just forget him but I had to wait and see

Oh I've been sad before

And I've been had before

But oh my friend I won't pretend it was as bad before

I should have told my heart to stop and count ten

But then I never know when to say when

I know my way around

I never play around

Each time I fall I bet my all

He's gonna stay around

It seems that everything is rosy and then

Somehow I never know when to say when

But now I've learned my lesson

And it's an easy one

If I could keep them guessing

Keep it fun kiss and run

The skies are stormy now

My dreams all bore me now

No candle lights the lonely nights that lie before me now

I say it's done it's done it's over

Amen

But then again and again and again

I find I never know when I never know when to say when

But now I've learned my lesson

And it's an easy one

If I could keep them guessing

Keep it fun kiss and run

The skies are stormy now

My dreams all bore me now

No candle lights the lonely nights that lie before me now

I say it's done it's done it's over

Amen

And then again and again and again

I find I never know when I never know when to say when
