WHAT IS THIS GOING TO GET US?
Irene Wilson (Nee Kitchings) (m) Arthur Herzog (l)

as rec by Billie Holiday & her Orch  
Feb 29th 1940 New York


What is this goin' to get us,
Where are we headin' for?
When do we start to live, dear,
When do we really begin?

What is this goin' to get us,
hangin around till four,
Sayin' goodnight at daybreak,
Kissing goodby in the doorway?

We can't go on the way we've gone,
I'm at the end of my rope!
I can't live on love I've so much of,
And I can't go on livin' on hope!

What is this goin' to get us?
Only an achin' heart!
When is this goin' to get us
Together, never to part?

We can't go on the way we've gone,
I'm at the end of my rope!
Gee, I can't live on love I've so much of,
And I can't go on livin' on hope!

What is this goin' to get us?
Only an achin' heart!
When is this goin' to get us
Together, never to part?
