I Don't Know Enough About You
Words & Music by Peggy Lee & Dave Barbour*Recorded by Peggy Lee, 1946 (#16)
Also recorded by Diana Krall, 1997
A D9 Cdim Bm7-5 E7
I know a little bit about a lot of things,
A G#7 F#7
But I don't know enough about you;
D D9 Dm6 Fdim
Just when I think you're mine, you try a different line and
Bm7-5 F7 E7
Baby, what can I do?
A D9 Cdim Bm7-5 E7
I read the latest news, no buttons on my shoes --
A G#7 F#7
Baby, I'm confused about you.
D D9 Dm6 Fdim
You've got me in a spin and what a spin I'm in,
D9 E7/6 E7 A
'Cause I don't know enough about you
Bridge:
Bm7-5 E7 Cdim E7
Jack-of-all-trades, master of none,
D9 A7/9 A7
And isn't it a shame?
Fdim E7 Fdim E7
I'm so sure that you'd be good for me
Fdim F7 E7
If you'd only play my game.
A D9 Cdim Bm7-5 E7
You know I went to school and I'm nobody's fool...
A G#7 F#7
That is to say until I met you.
D D9 Dm6 Fdim
I know a little bit about a lot of things,
D9 E7/6 E7 A
But I don't know enough about you.
Coda:
Dm6 Dm7-5 Fdim
I know a bit about bi - ol - o - gy,
A A9 Cdim A
A little more about psy - chol - o - gy,
D Dm7 A F#7
I'm a little gem in ge - ol - o - gy
D9 E7/6 E7 A
But I don't know enough about you.
*Barbour was a frequent musical collaborator with Lee, and also co-wrote two of Lee's biggest hits -- Manana (Is Soon Enough For Me) and It's a Good Day. Barbour had been a guitarist with Benny Goodman's orchestra when Lee replaced Helen Forrest as the band's featured female singer in 1941. Lee married Barbour and left the band within two years.
