Lyrics Ella Fitzgerald

Ella Fitzgerald

Don'cha Go 'way Mad

I must confess what you say is true

I had a rendezvous with somebody new

That's the only one I ever had

Baby, baby, don'cha go away mad

Cheatin' shows and it never goes

You got a reason to be mad I suppose

But she only was a passin' fad

Baby, don't you be mad

Her kind's a dime a dozen

And that's not the kind I want

Who'd ever dream your cousin

Would wander into that restaurant?

I understand that you feel upset

What do you say that you forgive and forget?

Come on and kiss me just to show you're glad

Baby, baby, don'cha go away mad

Now, her kind's a dime a dozen

I should've passed her by

Who'd ever dream your cousin

Would come along and give us the eye?

I understand that you feel upset

What do you say that you forgive and forget?

Come on and kiss me just to show you're glad

Baby, don'cha go away mad

Understand that you're quite upset

What do you say that you forgive and forget?

Come on and kiss me just to show you're glad

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

Baby, baby, baby, don'cha go 'way mad

Now, don'cha go away mad
