Dat's Love (From "Carmen Jones") |
Love’s a baby that grows up wild |
And he don’t do what you want him to |
Love ain’t nobody’s angel-child |
And he won’t pay any mind to you |
One man gave me his diamond stud |
And I won’t give him a cigarette |
One man treats me like I was mud |
And what I got, dat man can get |
Dat’s love, dat’s love, dat’s love, dat’s love |
You go for me and I’m taboo |
But if you’re hard to get, I’ll go for you |
And if I do, then you are through |
Oh, my baby, that’s the end of you |
… So take your cue |
Oh, Don’t say I didn’t tell you true |
… I told you truly, if I love you |
Dat’s the end of you! |
When your love bird decides to fly |
There ain’t no door that you can close |
She just pecks you a quick good-bye |
And flicks de salt from her tail and goes |
If you listen then you get taught |
And here’s your lesson for today |
If I choose you, then you get caught |
But once I got you, I go away |
Dat’s love… |
