Bessie Couldn't Help It (Take 2)

Bessie Couldn't Help It (Take 2) - Hoagy Carmichael

Bessie couldn't help it any

More than you could or I could

Bessie couldn't help it though she tried to be good

Oh So good

She was pretty as the heavens above

Oh Boy how that girl could love

Bessie had affection that was simply wonderful

Bessie couldn't help it any more

Than you could or I could

But when she smiled you were

Bound to fall that's all

A boy kissed Bessie in the taxi one night

Why oh Why did she yell with delight

Bessie couldn't help it any more than you could

Or I could
