Instrumental version of a jazz song with the following lyrics:

S/HE DON’T KNOW ABOUT LOVE
(A song about unrequited love, cluelessness, and rationalization)
Words and Music by C. W. Brownell © 2023
>
(Female love interest version)
“SHE DON’T KNOW ABOUT LOVE”
>
She don’t know about love
And it just doesn’t matter to her
Love and passion she never thinks of
Cuz such feelings don’t ever occur
She’ll come ‘round, maybe, and be my baby
But I wouldn’t bet on any of the above
Cuz she don’t know about—
Just don’t know about love
>
She don’t answer the phone
When I call her to ask for a date
She’s always over at her best friend’s home
Where she stays so terribly late
She thinks it’s funny I call her “honey”
But she must admit when push comes to shove
That she don’t know about—
She don’t know about love
>
Why, God, oh, why did you make her?
What were you thinking of?
She has me, but she won’t let me have her
No one can have her
Cuz she doesn’t know about love
>
Her friends say that I’m wrong
As they give me a curious smile
They say together we don’t belong
But, still, I wonder once in a while
She’ll come ‘round, maybe, and be my baby
But I wouldn’t bet on any of the above
Cuz she don’t know about—
Just don’t know about love
>

He don’t know about love
