If You Don't, I Know Who Will

Bessie Smith

Lyrics

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'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, 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
