Ella Fitzgerald
I’m Up a Tree
[Verse 1]
Am I your love or not? Please make it clear
Why don't you tell me what I long to hear?
Goodness me
Can't you see? I'm up a tree
[Verse 2]
You've got me guessin' and I hate to guess
When will I understand true happiness?
Honestly
Can't you see? I'm up a tree
[Bridge]
What a chance I'm takin'
'Cause how that tree is shakin'
And I'm hanging out on a limb
Looks like my chances are slim
Got no way of knowin'
How the wind is blowin'
[Verse 3]
You put me in suspense and keep me there
I'm losing confidence in this affair
Pity me
Can't you see? I'm up a tree
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
What a chance I'm takin'
'Cause how that tree is shakin'
And I'm hanging out on a limb
Looks like my chances are slim
Got no way of knowin'
How the wind is blowin'
[Verse 3]
You put me in suspense and keep me there
I'm losing confidence in this affair
Pity me
Can't you see? I'm up a tree
[Outro]
I'm just a fool to love you so
What is your answer — yes or no?
Can't you see? I'm up a tree
