Dinah Washington - The Complete Dinah Washington On Mercury Vol.1 (2000) by Dinah Washington (보컬) on maniadb.com

Love, to a man, is just a thing apart
To take or leave according to his whim
Love, to a woman means her very heart
She only wants to live her life for him.

Maybe he's not much,
Just another man doing what he can
But what does she care
When a woman loves a man.
She'll just string along all through thick and thin
Till his ship comes in
It's always that way
When a woman loves a man

She'll be the first one to praise him when he's going strong
The last one to blame him when everything's wrong
It's such a one sided game that they play
But women are funny that way.

Tell her she's a fool,
She'll say yes I know but I love him so
And that's how it goes
When a woman loves a man

She'll be the first one to praise him when he's going strong
The last one to blame him when everything's wrong
It's such a one sided game that they play
But women are funny that way.

Tell her she's a fool,
She'll say yes I know but I love him so
And that's how it goes
When a woman loves a man

I'm a slick chick
On a solid kick always lookin' ready
Man, I'm on the mellow side

I'm a sharp queen
I make the hep cats scream
Know just how to send them
Man, I'm on the mellow side

Now when I start to jivin'
Beneath a groovy moon
Jack, you'll holler murder
And swoon, swoon, swoon

Beneath a groovy moon

And swoon, swoon, swoon

Don't you know that's the lick
Gee, but I'm a killer
Man, I'm on the mellow side

I've got a dentist who's over seven feet tall
Yes I've got a dentist who's over seven feet tall
Long John they call him, and he answers every call

Well I went to Long Johns office and told him the pain was killin'
Yes I went to Long Johns office and told him the pain was killin'
He told me not to worry, that my cavity just needed fillin'

He said "when I start drillin', I'll have to give you novocaine"
He said, "Yes, when I start drillin', I'll have to give you novocaine
Cause ev'ry woman just can't stand the pain"

He took out his trusted drill
And he told me to open wide
He said he wouldn't hurt me
But he'd fill my hole inside
Long John, Long John, you've got that golden touch
You thrill me when you drill me, and I need you very much

When he got through, he said "Baby that will cost you ten"
Yes when he got through, he said "Baby that will cost you ten
Six months from now, come back and see me again"

Say you're supposed to see your dentist
'Bout twice a year, that's right
But I think I feel it bobbin'
Yes I'll go back there tonight
Long John, Long John, don't ever move away
Say I hope I keep on achin' so I can see you every day.
