Bessie Smith - I Want Every Bit Of It Lyrics

Artist: Bessie Smith

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Blues

  • Songwriters: Clarence Williams, Spencer Williams

Listen to my plea this mornin'
My love gonna get you told
Pay attention to my warnin'
'Cause you've been actin', quite too bold
Everything you give me must suit me to a tee

I want every bit of it or none at all
'Cause I don't like it second hand
I want all your kisses or none at all
Give me lots of candy, honey, love is grand

Mama like lovin' both night and day
I don't like no two-time, that's why I say
I want every bit of it or none at all
'Cause I don't like it second hand
No I don't like it second hand

I want every bit of it or none at all
'Cause I don't like it second hand
I want all your kisses or none at all
Just put up plenty, honey, that's my command

Mama like foolin' with lots o' love
When you start to makin' love, no-one knows
I want every bit of it or none at all
'Cause I don't like it second hand, no
I can't use it second hand
