"It Won't Be You" lyrics - BESSIE SMITH
BESSIE SMITH
"It Won't Be You"
You have really broken my heart
I wished I knew before we start
I thought you'd always be true
That's why I left my home for you
But everything has turned out wrong
And you have left me all alone
Till I made up my mind
To get someone who will always be kind
No matter how cruel he may be
It won't be you
If he beats me and breaks my heart
It won't be you
He may love me and treat me kind
Love me so hard I lose my mind
I'm satisfied to know it won't be you
No matter how cruel he may be
It won't be you
If he beats me and breaks my heart
It won't be you
He may love me and treat me kind
Love me so hard I lose my mind
But I'm satisfied it won't be you
