(1945) richard rodgers, oscar hammerstein ii |
|
The things i used to like, i don't like any more, |
|
I want a lot of other things i've never had before, |
|
It's just like my mamma says, i sit around and mourn |
|
Pretending that i am so wonderful and knowing i'm adored |
|
I'm as restless as a willow in a windstorm, |
|
I'm as jumpy as a puppet on a string, |
|
I'd say that i had spring fever, |
|
But i know it isn't spring. |
|
I'm as starry eyed and gravely discontented, |
|
Like a nightingale without a song to sing. |
|
Oh, why should i have spring fever, |
|
When it isn't even spring? |
|
I keep wishing i were somewhere else, |
|
Walking down a strange new street, |
|
Hearing words i have never never heard, |
|
From a man i've yet to meet. |
|
I'm as busy as a spider spinning daydreams, |
|
I'm as giddy as a baby on a swing, |
|
I haven't seen a crocus or a rosebud, |
|
Or a robin or a bluebird on the wing, |
|
But i feel so gay in a melancholy way, |
|
That it might as well be spring, |
|
It might as well be, might as well be, |
|
It might as well be spring. |
