POOR YOU
Burton Lane (m) E Y "Yip" Harburg (l)


Judy Garland w David Rose & his Orch    rec Apr 4th 1942 Hollywood

Frank Sinatra w Tommy Dorsey & his Orch '42


I'm sad for anybody walking about
Who's missed all the thrills I've been through.
I'm sad for anybody who hasn't found out
Just what your caresses can do,
And that's why I'm especially sad for you!


Poor you,
I'm sorry you're not me,
For you will never know
what loving you can be.


Poor you,
You never know your charms,
You never feel your warmth,
You're never in your arms.


When it is you I'm kissing,
I pity you constantly;
You don't know what you're missing,
For you're only kissing for me!


Poor you,
You'll live your whole life through,
And yet you'll never know
The thrill of loving you.


When it is you I'm kissing,
I pity you constantly;
You don't know what you're missing,
For you're only kissing for me!


Poor you,
You'll live your whole life through,
And yet you'll never know
The thrill of loving you.
