You ain't never been blue, no, no, no You ain't never been blue Till you've had that mood indigo That feeling goes stealing right down to my shoes While I just sit here and sigh Go along blues
I always get that mood indigo Since my baby said goodbye And in the evening when the lights are low I'm so lonely I could cry For there's nobody who cares about me I'm just a poor fool that's bluer than blue can be When I get that mood indigo I could lay me down and die
You ain't been blue, no, no, no You ain't never been blue Till you've had that mood indigo That feeling goes stealing right down to my shoes While I just sit here and sigh Go along blues
He needs me He doesn't know it, But he needs me And so no matter where he goes, Though he doesn't care He knows that I'm there
He needs me I oughta leave him, But he needs me I know that I ain't very bright Just to tag along Oh, but right or wrong I'm his... And I'm here
And I'm gonna be his friend, Or his lover Cause my one ambition is To wake him and make him discover that He needs me I've got to follow where he leads me Or else he'll never know That I need him Just as he needs me
Sit there and count your fingers What can you do? Old girl you're through Sit there, count your little fingers Unhappy little girl blue
Sit there and count the raindrops Falling on you It's time you knew All you can ever count on Are the raindrops That fall on little girl blue
Won't you just sit there Count the little raindrops Falling on you 'Cause it's time you knew All you can ever count on Are the raindrops That fall on little girl blue
No use old girl You might as well surrender 'Cause your hopes are getting slender and slender Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy To cheer up little girl blue
Love me or leave me and let me be lonely You won't believe me but I love you only I'd rather be lonley than happy with somebody else
You might find the night time the right time for kissing Night time is my time for just reminiscing Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else
There'll be no one unless that someone is you I intended to be independently blue
I want your love, don't wanna borrow Have it today to give back tomorrow Your love is my love There's no love for nobody else
Say, love me or leave me and let me be lonely You won't believe me but I love you only I'd rather be lonley than happy with somebody else
You might find the night time the right time for kissing Night time is my time for just reminiscing Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else
There'll be no one unless that someone is you I intended to be independently blue
Say I want your love, don't wanna borrow Have it today to give back tomorrow Your love is my love My love is your love There's no love for nobody else
My baby don't care for shows My baby don't care for clothes My baby just cares for me My baby don't care for cars and races My baby don't care for high-tone places
Liz Taylor is not his style And even Lana Turner's smile Is somethin' he can't see My baby don't care who knows My baby just cares for me
Baby, my baby don't care for shows And he don't even care for clothes He cares for me My baby don't care For cars and races My baby don't care for He don't care for high-tone places
Liz Taylor is not his style And even Liberace's smile Is something he can't see Is something he can't see I wonder what's wrong with baby My baby just cares for My baby just cares for My baby just cares for me
Original lyrics
My baby don't care for shows My baby don't care for clothes My baby just cares for me My baby don't care for cars and races My baby don't care for high-tone places
Liz Taylor is not his style And even Lana Turner's smile is somethin' he can't see
My baby don't care who knows it My baby just cares for me
My baby don't care for shows And he don't even care for clothes My baby just cares for me
My baby don't care for cars and races My baby don't care for he don't care for high-tone places
I wonder what's wrong with baby My baby just cares for Just says his prayers for My baby just cares for me
Plain gold ring on his finger he wore It was where everyone could see He belonged to someone, but not me On his hand was a plain gold band
Plain gold ring has a story to tell It was one that I knew too well In my heart it will never be spring Long as he wears a plain gold ring Oh, oh
When nighttime comes a' callin' on me I know why I will never be free I can't stop these teardrops of mine I'm gonna love him till the end of time
Plain gold ring has but one thing to say I'll remember till my dying day In my heart it will never be spring Long as he wears a plain gold ring Plain gold ring on his finger he wore Plain gold ring on his finger he wore Plain gold ring on his finger he wore
(1935) Ira Gershwin, DuBose Heyward, George Gershwin
I loves you, Porgy, Don't let him take me Don't let him handle me And drive me mad If you can keep me I wanna stay here with you forever And I'll be glad
Yes I loves you, Porgy, Don't let him take me Don't let him handle me With his hot hands If you can keep me I wants to stay here with you forever I've got my man
I loves you, Porgy, Don't let him take me Don't let him handle me And drive me mad If you can keep me I wanna stay here with you forever I've got my man
Someday I know he's coming to call me He's going to handle me and hold me So, it' going to be like dying, Porgy When he calls me But when he comes I know I'll have to go
I loves you, Porgy, Don't let him take me Honey, don't let him handle me and drive me mad If you can keep me I wanna stay here with you forever I've got my man
For all we know We may never meet again Before we go Make this moment live again We won't say goodbye Until the last minute I'll hold out my hand And my heart will be in it
For all we know This might only be a dream We come and we go Like the ripples, like the ripples in the stream So baby, love me, love me tonight Tomorrow was made for some Oh, but tomorrow But tomorrow may never, never come For all we know Yes, tomorrow may never, never come For all we know
