Lyrics Baby Have Pity on Me - Cécile McLorin Salvant

You show your sympathy to every bird and bee
But when it comes to me, dear, you laugh at every plea
Sweetheart, I need the bliss, the bliss of your sweet kiss
What can the answer be, dear, I can't go on like this

Like a beggar, what can I do?
Hungry kisses and starvin' for you
Press your lips to my lips, Lord, have pity on me

Cravin' for affection, my cravin' is strong
Put your arms around me where they belong
Press me, cares me, oh, have pity on me

One kiss and I'll know, I'll go riding on a rainbow
Straight up to heaven, I will fly right to the sky
Can't you hear me cryin' for sweet sympathy?
No love like your love can answer my plea
Press your lips to my lips, Lord, have pity on me

One kiss and I'll know, I'll go riding on a rainbow
Straight up to heaven, I will fly right to the sky
Can't you hear me cryin' for sweet sympathy?
No love like your love can answer my plea
Press your lips to my lips, Lord, have pity on me
