Lonnie Johnson - Some Day Baby (1944) lyrics

rate me

My blues starts ‘long about midnight, don’t leave me until the break of day.

My blues starts ‘long about midnight, don’t leave me until the break of day.

Only takes the one I love, to drive these worried blues away.

So many nights an’ days, an’ I cried myself to sleep for you.

So many nights an’ days, an’ I cried myself to sleep for you.

An’ the reason why I still forgive you baby, nobody understands you the way that I do.

When I cry it’s because I love you, you’ve hurt me an’ I jus’ can’t help myself.

When I cry it’s because I love you, you’ve hurt me an’ I jus’ can’t help myself.

All the love I have in my heart for you, tryin’ to serve it to someone else.

But I’ll be seein’ you baby, when your tears be fallin’ down like drops of rain.

But I’ll be seein’ you some day baby, when your tears be fallin’ down like drops of rain.

You’ll give anything in your life, jus’ to hear somebody call my name.

I know you wonder why I never scold you, because I don’t care where you go.

I know you wonder why I never scold you, because I don’t care where you go.

Once upon a time I loved you an’ you hurt me, things ain’t the same no more.
