Count Basie — I Guess I'll Have to Change My Plans lyrics

Lyrics

I guess I’ll have to change my plan
I should have realized there’d be another man
I overlooked that point completely
Until the big affair began
Before I knew where I was at I found myself on a shelf
And that was that
I tried to reach the moon
But when I got there
All that I could get was the air
My feet are back upon the ground
I lost the one girl I’d found
Before I knew where I was at I found myself hung up on a shelf
And that was that
I tried to reach for the moon
But you know when I got there
All that I could get was the air
My feet have returned the ground
I lost the one girl
I lost the one girl
Lost me the one girl I had found
