I Wonder Why
W. King Cole Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thoughts keep roaming through my mind, they're all of you
I wonder if you're dancing, with somebody new
I wonder, I wonder can't help it if I wonder
No matter which side of the pillow that I'm sleeping on
My dreams of you continue through until the dawn
And after that I find the day dream crew comes on
I wonder, I wonder, can't help it if I wonder
Well, then it's quite alright with me
I'm gonna get me dressed up in my Sunday suit
And find myself somebody who is twice as cute
And when you realize that you and I are through
I wonder, I wonder, I wonder what you'll do
All by myself alone at home a feeling blue
Thoughts keep roaming through my mind, they're all of you
I wonder if you're dancing, with somebody new
I wonder, I wonder can't help it if I wonder
No matter which side of the pillow that I'm sleeping on
My dreams of you continue through until the dawn
And after that I find the day dream crew comes on
I wonder, I wonder, can't help it if I wonder
You care for someone else, I see
Well, then it's quite alright with me
I'm gonna get me dressed up in my Sunday suit
And find myself somebody who is twice as cute
And when you realize that you and I are through
I wonder, I wonder, I wonder what you'll do
