"If You Don't, I Know Who Will" lyrics - 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 gal ain't supposed to want for nothin'
I 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 good-bye John
Squeeze me till I feel the thrill
Love me till 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 gal 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 till I feel the thrill
Love me till 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
