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… |
