- Songwriters: Bessie Smith
When I wasn't nothing but a child
When I wasn't nothing but a child
All you men tried to drive me wild
Now I am growing old
Now I am growing old
And I've got what it takes to get all of you men told
My mama says, I'm reckless, my daddy says, I'm wild
My mama says, I'm reckless, my daddy says, I'm wild
I ain't good looking but I'm somebody's angel child
Daddy, mama wants some loving
Daddy, mama wants some hugging
Darn it pretty papa, mama wants some lovin' I vow
Darn it pretty papa, mama wants some lovin' right now
