BILLIE HOLIDAY - BABY GET LOST lyrics

Leonard Feather

Well good morning baby welcome back to town

How'd, fine papa, welcome back to town

You're doing so much travelling never know

When you'll be around

You're a fine and mellow fellow

But you're stubborn as a mule

You love me like an angel

But you treat me like a fool

Two-faced daddy don't hand me no doublecross

You'll see any time I'm ready

I can tell you baby get lost

You're cheating on the outside

Doing anything you choose

You better come back on the inside

'Cause you got too much to lose

Don't want no trouble I've got to be the boss

And if you can't play it my way

Well now baby get lost

I try to stop your cheating

But I just don't have the time

'Cause I got so many men that

They're standing right in line

Keep cool papa, you got to corne across

'Cause any time I'm ready, yes any time I'm ready

You know when I'm ready

I can tell you baby get lost

Why don't you get lost
