Lyrics Cafe Manhattan Party - Diana Ross

Cafe Manhattan Party

Harry, can you meet me outside?
Mm-mm, no
What you mean, Har, «no»? Come on
You ain’t gonna get anything from me, I mean, not right under his nose.
I want to keep mine in one piece
I know you … I know you ain’t scared of Louis, now. Come on
Billie, go home. Go home
I can’t let them know them goddamn soap bastards got to me. Don’t do that to me,
buddy
You think I’m crazy enough to carry in the city?
Come on, pal
Now, Billie, go home. You know you can’t fight it when you’re
Hooked, and you are hooked. You’re an A number-one mainliner
You think so, huh?
Okay, pally
Oh- I’m sorry
My glass slipped
Hey, look, let’s go. This party’s too tight ass for me
Wait a minute. Wait a minute
No, wait a minute, now. Listen, I got some business to take care of
Just hang on for a few minutes. Everything will be smooth and I’ll take you
right on home, okay?
We’ve got a surprise for you right now. A very talented young lady is here
tonight
No, it’s not okay. If you don’t get a cab, I get my own self a cab, okay?
Billie, take it easy, baby
Now I predict the 4:35 is over, will be one of the biggest stars in Manhattan.
With a little coaxing, maybe we can get her up here to sing
Just wait one minute. One minute. Okay
Ladies and gentlemen, Cafe Manhattan proudly presents … Miss Billie Holiday!
