If You Don't, I Know Who Will Songtext
von Bessie Smith

Daddy, I want some furs and things
Daddy, I want the diamond rings
Aeroplanes, motor cars and such
If your little mama ain′t askin' too much

From you, from you
Won′t you give me what I want, daddy do
If you don't, I know who will
If you don't, I know who will

You may think that I′m just bluffin′
But I'm one girl, ain′t supposed to want for nothin'
I′ve got my wantin' habits on
I′ve had 'em on since this morn'


Man, you′ve got to help me ′long
If you don't, it′s goodbye, John
Squeeze me 'til I feel the thrill
Love me ′til I get my fill

'Cause if you don′t, and say you won't
I know who will, Mr. So and So, I know who will
If you don't, I know who will
If you don′t, I know who will

You might think that I′m just bluffin'
But I′m one girl, ain't supposed to want for nothin′
I've got my wantin′ habits on
I've had 'em on since this morn′

Man, you′ve got to help me 'long
If you don′t, it's goodbye, John
Squeeze me ′til I feel the thrill
Love me 'til I get my fill

′Cause if you don't, and say you won't
I know who will, my other papa
I know who will
