Don'cha Go 'Way Mad

Don'cha Go 'Way Mad
music by Jimmy Mundy & Illinois Jacquet
lyric by Al Stillman

I must confess what you say is true,
I had a rendezvous with somebody new.
That's the only one I ever had;
Baby, baby don'cha go 'way mad.

Cheatin' shows and it never goes;
You got a reason to be mad I suppose.
But she only was a passin' fad;
Baby, baby, don'cha go 'way mad.

Her kind's a dime a dozen and that's not the kind I want.
Who'd ever dream your cousin would wander into that restaurant?

I understand that you feel upset;
Whaddya say that you forgive and forget?
Come on and kiss me just to show you're glad;
Baby, baby, don'cha go 'way mad.

Her kind's a dime a dozen; I should have passed her by.
Who'd ever dream your cousin would come along and give us the eye?

I understand that you feel upset;
Whaddya say that you forgive and forget?
Come on and kiss me just to show you're glad.
Baby, baby don'cha go 'way mad...
