Lyrics You Don't Understand (with James P. Johnson) [with James P. Johnson] - Bessie Smith
Here
I
am,
girls
o′
mine,
pleadin'
but
it′s
all
in
vain
Here
I
am,
out
of
line,
can't
we
make
it
up
again?
You
know,
baby,
there's
no
maybe,
I
love
only
you
You
the
only
one
and
no
one
else
will
do
It
makes
me
forgive
when
you
turn
me
away
But
I
know,
dear,
that
you
don′t
understand
Won′t
you
believe
anything
I
say?
But
I
know,
dear,
that
you
don't
understand
Open
up
your
heart,
let
me
in
your
heart,
I′m
pleadin'
No
one
else
will
do,
′cause
it's
only
you
I′m
needin'
My
fate
you
hold,
my
love,
in
your
hands
But
I
know,
dear,
that
you
don't
understand
I′m
so
blue
in
despair
′cause
you
have
turned
me
down
I
don't
know
if
you
care,
I
don′t
come
around
You
know,
honey,
it's
so
funny
when
you
treat
me
bad
Won′t
you
hear
me
pleadin'
′cause
I'm
goin'
mad
It
makes
me
cry
when
you
laugh
in
my
face
But
I
know,
dear,
that
you
don′t
understand
Now
I
see
why
I
can′t
hold
first
place
'Cause
I
know,
dear,
that
you
don′t
understand
For
your
love
I'll
strive,
sure
as
I′m
alive,
I'll
bet
you
Then
you′ll
forgive,
soon
you'll
forgive,
I'll
get
you
Then
you′ll
see
all
the
things
that
I′ve
planned
But
I
know,
dear,
that
you
don't
understand
