Baby Doll Lyrics - Bessie Smith

Honey, there's a funny feeling 'round my heart, 

And it's bound to drive your mama wild 

It must be something they call the Cuban Doll, 

It weren't your mama's angel child 

I went to see the doctor the other day, he said I's well as well could be 

But I said, "Doctor, you don't know really what's worrying me" 

I want to be somebody's baby doll so I can get my loving all the time 

I want to be somebody's baby doll to ease my mind 

He can be ugly, he can be black, so long as he can eagle rock and ball the jack 

I want to be somebody's baby doll so I can get my lovin' all the time, 

I mean to get my lovin' all the time 

Lord, I went to the gypsy to get my fortune told, 

She said you in hard luck, Bessie, doggone your bad luck soul 

I want to be somebody's baby doll so I can get my lovin' all the time, 

I mean to get my lovin' all the time
