I’m pretty sure the song is “Anything You Can Do
” from the musical Annie Get Your Gun.
Thanks for your response. But the song I'm thinking about is not a duet - although it is as if she is singing *to* someone, because she is asking in the song what the other woman has that she doesn't have. If anyone has a clue, please let me know!
“She’s Got You” by Patsy Cline?
Thanks for the link - I just listened to it. It's a great song (Reminds me a little of "But you know me").
Still,it's not the one I'm thinking of. The song I heard had an up-beat tune, closer to the tempo (but not as fast) as "Anything you Can Do."

This probably isn't it, but could it be "What did I Have That I Don't Have Now?" from the musical "On A Clear Day You Can See Forever''? Here's Eydie Gorme singing it, although it was a really popular song for female singers to cover in the years between the Broadway show in 1965(?) and the movie with Barbra Streisand in 1970.
Hopefully somoene knows this song:
I heard it on an "oldies" station a few years ago, but have not been able to find it looking on-line, since I don't recall the actual lyrics. The song was an upbeat (40's?) tune - maybe it was from a musical. The woman had a Rosemarie Cloony-type voice and she was asking what this other woman had, that she didn't have, (or what the other woman could do, that she couldn't do), etc. Does this ring a bell for anyone?
