Bessie Smith
Baby Doll
[Verse 1]
Honey, there's a funny feeling 'round my heart
And it's bound to drive your mama wild
It must be something they call the Kewpie doll
It ruins your mama's angel child

[Verse 2]
I went to see the doctor the other day
He said I's well as well could be
But I said, "Doctor, you don't know
Really what's worryin' me"

[Verse 3]
I want to be somebody's baby doll
So, I can get my lovin' all the time
I want to be somebody's baby doll
To ease my mind

[Pre-Chorus]
Now, he can be ugly
He can be bad
As long as he can eagle rock
And ball the jack

[Chorus]
I want to be somebody's baby doll
So, I can get my lovin' all the time
I mean for to get my lovin' all the time
[Trombone Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
Lord, I went to the gypsy
To get my fortune told
She said you in hard luck, Bessie
Doggone your bad luck soul

[Chorus]
I want to be somebody's baby doll
So, I can get my lovin' all the time
I mean to get my lovin' all the time

[Outro]
Well, won't you believe me?
To get my lovin' all the time
Won't somebody hear me?
To get my lovin' all the time
I really mean it
To get my lovin' all the time
