Baby Doll - Bessie Smith

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 cuban doll

It weren't your Mama's angel child

I went to see the doctor the other day

He said I'm well as well could be

But I said doctor

You don't know really what's worrying me

I want to be somebody's baby doll

So I can get my loving all the time

I want to be somebody's baby doll

To ease my mind

He can be ugly he can be black

So long as he can eagle rock and ball the jack

I want to be somebody's baby doll

So I can get my loving all the time

I mean to get my loving all the time

Lord

I went to the gypsy to get my fortune told

She said you in hard luck Bessie

Doggone your bad luck soul

I want to be somebody's baby doll

So I can get my loving all the time

I mean to get my loving all the time
