Peggy Lee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If dreams come true
My dream's of you
At night when you are away
My heart is yearning to say

If dreams come true
I'll be with you
We'd love, we two
If dreams come true

Oh, if my dreams come true
I'll be with you
My dream's so true





We'd love, we two
If dreams come true

on Why Don't You Do Right (Get Me Some Money Too)

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?
