Don'cha Go 'way Mad

Don'cha Go 'way Mad - Ella Fitzgerald

Written by：Al Stillman

Who was that woman I saw you with last night

I must confess what you say is true

I had a rendezvous with somebody new

It's the only one I ever had

Baby baby don'cha go 'way mad

Cheatin' shows and it never goes

I've got a reason to be mad I suppose

Well I guess I'm just a passing fad

Baby baby don'cha go 'way mad

Your kind's a dime a dozen

That's not the kind I want

Who could believe your cousin

Would visiting in that restaurant

You realize that I'm real upset

What do you say that we forgive and forget

Ought to shake you for a truer lad

Baby baby don'cha go 'way mad

Look honey if you really wanna know the truth

She just happened to be sitting at my table

Baby

Baby who are you kidding

And furthermore all I had on my mind was food

Well if that's the case

How come you were seen holding hands across the table

Holding hands

Holding hands

I wasn't holding hands

I was just reaching for the cheque

Hah

Honey

You know you never reached for a cheque in your whole life

I guess that you've got me dead to rights

I mighta known that you were slippin' 'round nights

I'll admit I really was a cad

Can you blame me if I go 'way mad

Cheatin' shows and it never goes

I wanna stay away for ever I s'pose

But she only was a passin' fad

Oh yeah

Baby baby don'cha go way mad

That gal was just a phoney

That chick had no finesse

I know that's just baloney

But I forgive you nonetheless

I'm sorry dear if I made you blue

All of my life I've been a fool for you

Cool kiss me just to show you're glad

Nothin' doin' 'cause I'm goin' 'way mad

You gotta forgive me

No

No no no

Oh forgive me

Well I'll think about it

Okay baby I won't go 'way mad
