Rosemary Clooney – Don'cha Go 'Way Mad lyrics

Who was that woman I saw you with last night?

I must confess what you say is true
I had a rendezvous with somebody new
It's the only one I ever had
Oh yeah?
Baby, baby, don'cha go way mad!

Cheatin'shows and it never goes
I got a reason to be mad, I suppose
Well, I guess I'm just a passin' fad
Baby, baby, don'cha go way mad!

Your kind's a dime a dozen
That's not the kind I want!
Who would believe your cousin
Would be sittin' in that restaurant!

You realise that I'm real upset!
What do you say that you forgive and forget?
Ought to shake you for a truer lad!
Oh bay-bay-baby, don'cha go way mad!

Look honey, if you really wanna know the truth
She just happened to be sitting at my table
Baby! Baby, who are you kidding?
And furthermore, all I had on my mind was food!
Well, if that's the case
How come you were seen holding hands across the table?
Holding hands? Holding hands?
I wasn't holding hands, I was just reaching for the cheque!
Hah! Honey, you know you never reached for a cheque in your life!

I guess that you've got me dead to rights!
I mighta known that you were slippin' 'round nights!
I'll admit I really was a cad!
Can you blame me if I go 'way mad!

Cheatin' shows and it never goes
I wanna stay away for ever, I s'pose!
But she was only a passin' fad!
Oh yeah?
Baby baby, don'cha go way mad!

That gal was just a phoney!
That chick had no finesse!
I know that's just baloney,
But I forgive you, nonetheless!

I'm sorry dear if I made you blue!
All of my life I've been a fool for you!
Cool, kiss me just to show you're glad!
Nothin' doin' 'cause I'm goin' 'way mad!
You gotta forgive me!
No! No no no!
Oh forgive me!
Well, I'll think about it!
Okay baby, I won't go 'way mad!
