ELLA FITZGERALD lyrics - "What You Want Wid Bess?" [Bess:] Oh... What you want wid Bess? She's gettin' ole now; Take a fine young gal For to satisfy Crown. Look at this chest An' look at these arms you got. You know how it always been with me, These five years I been yo' woman, You could kick me in the street, Then when you wanted me back, You could whistle, an' there I was Back again, lickin' yo' hand. There's plenty better lookin' gal than Bess. Can' you see, I'm with Porgy, Now and forever I am his woman, he would die without me. Oh, Crown, won't you let me go to my man, to my man. He is a cripple an' needs my love, all my love. What you want wid Bess? Oh, let me go to my man. . . [Crown:] What I wants wid other woman, I gots a woman, yes, An' dat is you, yes, dat is you, yes, I need you now an' you're mine jus' as long as I want you. No cripple goin' take my woman from me. You got a man tonight an' that is Crown, yes, Crown, yes Crown. You're my woman, Bess, I'm tellin' you, now I'm your man. [Pressing her very close] [Bess:] What you want with Bess? (Boat whistles) Lemme go, Crown dat boat, it's goin' wiout me! [Crown:] You ain't goin' nowhere! [Bess:] (Weakening) Take yo' hands off me, I say, yo' hands, yo' hands, yo hands. (Crown kisses her passionately) [Crown:] I knows you' ain' change - wid you and me it always be the same. Git in dat thicket. (Bess backs into woods; Crown follows.) See more ELLA FITZGERALD lyrics |
