Lonnie Johnson - Something Fishy (Don’t Lie To Me) (1937) lyrics

rate me

Why is it sweet woman, you so mean and hateful to me?

It’s no need of explainin’. It’s someone else on your mind.

I saw you with your usta be baby, so don’t you start your lyin’.

Your arms don’t feel the same, your lips is icebox cold.

Your lips don’t feel, they both is icebox cold.

It’s the mean black snake, is been making his mornin’ stroll.

You know you once was sweetest woman I ever found.

You know baby, you was the sweetest woman I’ve ever found.

But since you been runnin’ out with your girlfriend, you just a plain old everyday clown.

I know it was something fishy, everything I would ask you would disagree.

You always had to go see your sick cousin, his name was Johnny Lee.

So there’s no need of lyin’, it’s the same man you quit for me.
