RESTLESS (Coslow / Satterfield)
(Coslow / Satterfield)

as recorded by Maxine Sullivan
1948 New York


Just like the rumble of the rain, I'm restless,
Somethin's whirlin' round in my brain, I'm restless.
I don't know just what I want,
But what I want, I want so awfully bad!

Like willows in a storm, I'm restless,
Maybe what I need is to be suppressed less,
Just assumin' thart I'm human,
And there's so much lovin' to be had!

I'm weary of the same routine
That I've fought all mornin' noon and night!
A new romance, a change of scene
Would interest me, change my misery to delight!

I've got a feelin' I'll be feelin' restless,
Until I meet somebody else who's restless.
Then I'll get it off my chest
And I won't be so restless anymore.

I'm weary of the same routine
That I've fought all morning noon and night!
A new romance, a change of scene
Would interest me, change my misery to delight!

I've got a feelin' I'll be feelin' restless,
Until I meet somebody else who's restless.
Then I'll get it off my chest
And I won't be so restless anymore,
So restless anymore,
So restless anymore.
