Lyrics Who'll Get It When I'm Gone? - Ethel Waters, J C Johnson, Ethel Waters, J.C. Johnson

Who'll Get It When I'm Gone?

I’ve been thinking of you, little sugar lump
Every since I went away
I’ve got the sad and lonesome, weary blues
I don’t know just hardly what to do
They say there’s better fish have never been caught
But since I left you, honey, I’ve often thought
What a fool I was to sit up all night long
'Cause you did me wrong
Say, who will get it, who will get it?
Your lovin' when I’m gone
I know you can’t forget the day we met
Them sweet lovin' kisses that I used to get
Who’ll be trying, who will be trying
To bite me in my back?
I can’t watch you like I should
You fooled me 'cause you said you were good
Who’ll get your lovin', honey, when I’m gone?
Oh, who will get it, who will get it?
Your lovin' when I’m gone
I know you won’t forget the day we met
Those lovin' kisses that you used to get
Who’ll be trying, who will be trying
To bite me in my back?
Women bite me in my back, it’s considered a disgrace
Women will take your man now in front of your face, so
Who’ll get your lovin', honey, when I’m gone?
