Bessie Smith - Baby Doll Lyrics

Artist: Bessie Smith

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Blues

  • Songwriters: Bessie Smith, Harold Webman

Honey, there's a funny feelin' 'round my heart
And it's bound to drive your mama wild
It must be somethin' they call the Cuban Doll
It weren't your mama's angel child

I went to see the doctor the other day
He said, "I's well as well could be"
But I said, "Doctor, you don't know really what's worryin' me"

I wanna be somebody's baby doll
So I can get my lovin' all the time
I wanna be somebody's baby doll to ease my mind

He can be ugly, he can be black
So long as he can eagle rock and ball the jack

I wanna be somebody's baby doll
So I can get my lovin' all the time
I mean to get my lovin' all the time

Lord, I went to the gypsy to get my fortune told
She said, "You in hard luck
Bessie, doggone your bad luck soul"

I wanna be somebody's baby doll
So I can get my lovin' all the time
I mean to get my lovin' all the time
