EVERYBODY KNEW BUT ME
(Bonnie Tutmarc / Paul Tutmarc)


Paul Tutmarc & The Wranglers (vocal: Bonnie Tutmarc) - 1953



Everybody knew that your heart was never true
Your love for me was dying day by day
They knew that you were laughing and playing me along
And I was fool enough to stay

Everybody knew, all my friends so true
Would look at me and say how can it be
Never would they tell me you were longing to be free
Everybody knew but me

(Instrumental Break)

All my friends would wonder when another love you found
They'd try to console my aching heart
They didn't know that all my fears were clinging there inside
Waiting for the teardrops to start

Everybody knew that I wanted only you
And I'd pray both night and day she'd set you free
I have watched you in your play, hoping love would find a way
Everybody knew but me
