Lyrics Someone Else Will Take Your Place - Alberta Hunter

Someone Else Will Take Your Place

I’ve cried both night and day,\nYou’ve always had your way;\nBut now you’re leavin,'\nYou’re goin' away to stay.\nWhat grieves my weary mind\nI’ve been so good and kind;\nIf you had to leave me,\nWhy did you wait till today?\nWhen you’re leavin' me, pretty baby,\nSomeone else will take your place;\nFor many years, I’ve long been waiting,\nJust anyplace with so much grace,\nSome place like a millionaire,\nLord, I do declare,\nWith my dainty figure and my baby stare,\nSo if you’re leavin' me, pretty baby,\nSomeone else will take your place.\nI said, you’re leavin' me, pretty baby,\nSomeone else will take your place.\nFor many years I’ve long been waiting,\nJust anyplace with so much grace,\nSo if you didn’t want me,\nTell me to my face,\n'Cause five or six women long to take your place,\nIf you’re dissatisfied and feel like leavin'\nSomeone else will take your place.\nHit that thing, big boy!\nWhen you’re leavin' me, pretty baby,\nSomeone else will take your place.\nFor many years I’ve long been waiting,\nAnywhere with so much grace,\nSo have a drink,\nYou’re in for fun,\nThe chance is gone, you might be wrong,\nIf you’re dissatisfied and feel like leavin'\nSomeone else will take your place.
