Peggy Lee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, don't be mad at me!

If I made you cry, I'm sorry,
Baby, don't be mad at me!
If I told a lie, forgive me,
Baby, don't be mad at me!

I know that I was wrong,
But I've paid for my mistake,
Won't you string along?
Give a broken heart a break!

I love only you, believe me,
Baby, please be glad at me,
Baby, don't be mad at me!

I know that I was wrong,
But I've paid for my mistake,
Won't you string along?
Give a broken heart a break!

I love only you, believe me,
Baby, please be glad at me,
Baby, don't be mad at me!






Baby, don't be mad at me!

Why Don't You Do Right - Casey Abrams - Lyrics
You had plenty money 1922
You let other women make a fool of you
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?

Get out of here and get me some money too?
You're sitting there wondering what it's all about
You ain't got no money, they will throw you out
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too?

Musical Interlude

You had plenty money 1922
You let other women make a fool of you
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too?
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
