Lyrics I Like To Hear It Sometimes - Betty Carter feat. Ray Charles

I don't want you to say pretty words
Makin' music like the sweet singing birds
I don't want you to be no fool
And don't treat me no special way

Just say (I love you so) now and then
(I love you so) now and then
(I love you so) oh now
(I love you so) yes sir

'Cause if you really, really love me, yeah
I like to hear it some time (I like to hear it some time)

Sometimes you ought to take me in your arms
And say the words that I long to hear
You ought to soothe me with your magic charms
Call me "sweetheart", "darling" or "dear"!

I don't want you to beg or cry
A little affection will satisfy
I don't want you to be upset
I just want to hear you say

(I love you so) now and then
(I love you so) now and then
(I love you so) oh yes sir
(I love you so) come on baby

If you really, really love me, yeah
I like to hear it some time (I like to hear it some time)

I don't want you to beg or cry
A little affection will satisfy
I don't want you to be upset
I just want to hear you say

(I love you so) now and then
(I love you so) now and then
(I love you so) yeah
(I love you so) yes sir

If you really, really love me, yeah
I like to hear it some time (I like to hear it some time)
Come on baby, say it again now (I like to hear it some time)
Do you understand? (I like to hear it some time)
Oh oh (I like to hear it some time)
