Lonnie Johnson "Somebody's Got To Go (1941)" |
Night and day I been drinkin', tryin' to get you off my mind. Night and day I been drinkin', tryin' to get you off my mind. Now you know I love you. That is why you treat me so unkind. Now my breads it was stole, and my coffee's gettin' cold. I hear my mother sayin', she'll get my father's gold. She says, Ooh-wee, Daddy, somebody is got to go. I'm tired of you stayin' out night and day. Somebody �s got to go. Now you told me that you love me, when you laid down across my bed. You was pullin' your �odds up, bein' harmful,� and talkin' out your head. I said, Ooh-wee, somebody �s got to go. I just can't get along with you baby. Somebody �s got to go. Now you told me that you love me baby, I know your love ain't true. �Cause how can you love me baby, and love my best friend too? Ooh-wee, baby somebody �s got to go. I just can't stand your jivin' no longer. Somebody's got to go. Now I went home yesterday mornin', just about the break of day. I peep through the keyhole and somebody's layin'on the pillow where I'm supposed to lay. I says, Ooh-wee, you know somebody is booked to go. I can't stand that pressure no longer. Jack somebody �s got to go. Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
