(duke ellington/paul francis webster) Though folks with good intentions Tell me to save my tears Well i’m so mad about him I can’t live without him Never treats me sweet and gentle The way he should I’ve got it bad And that ain’t good And when the weekend’s over And monday rolls around I end […]
(alec wilder) I’ll be around No matter how you treat me now I’ll be around When she’s gone Your latest love Will never last And when it’s past I’ll be around when she’s gone Goodbye again And if you find a love like mine Just now and then Drop a line to say (that) you’re […]
