Lyrics I Just Couldn’t Take It, Baby - Lionel Hampton

I Just Couldn’t Take It, Baby

You just don’t begin to know the spots you got me in
If I ever thought you’d be untrue
I just couldn’t take it, baby
Loving you the way I do
If it turn out I’m giving my fool self a ride
Had you figured out all along somehow
I just couldn’t take it, baby
Couldn’t do without you now
Some may take romance as just a song and dance
A game that they’re just playin' in
I just can’t go, «Hey, will I ever rub off that way?»
Couldn’t help you made me that way
Why?
Now, if I ever found out that’s just a run-around
I don’t mean a thing to you
I just couldn’t take it, baby
Loving you the way I do, yeah
