Dinah Washington - The Legendary Best Of... [compilation] (2008) by Dinah Washington (보컬) on maniadb.com

Mad about the boy
I know it's stupid to be mad about the boy
I'm so ashamed of it but must admit the sleepless nights I've had
About the boyOn the silverscreen
He melts my foolish heart in every single scene
Although I'm quite aware that here and there are traces of the cad
About the boyLord knows I'm not a fool girl
I really shouldn't care
Lord knows I'm not a school girl
In the fury of her first affairWill it ever cloy
This odd diversity of misery and joy
I'm feeling quite insane and young again
And all because I'm mad about the boySo if I could employ
A little magic that will finally destroy
This dream that pains me and enchains me
But I can't because I'm mad...
I'm mad about the boy

Well good morning baby, hmm welcome back to town.
Well good morning baby, welcome back to town.
You doing so much travellin', never know when you'll be round.

Yes you a fine mella' fella, but you stubbord as a mule.
You love me like an angel, but you treat me like a fool.
Oh face it daddy, don't wanna have me no double cross,
'cos any time i'm ready, i can tell you baby get lost.

Yeah you're cheating on the outside, doing anything you choose,
Better come back on the inside, cos you got too much to loose.
Don't want no trouble, i got to be the boss
Hmm and if you can't play it my way, well now baby get lost.

I could try an' stop you cheating but i just don't have the time;
I got so many men that they all standing in line.
Oh papa you'll have to come across
'cos any time i'm ready, i can tell you baby get lost.

The wheel of fortune
Goes spinning around
Will the arrow point my way
Will this be my day

Oh, wheel of fortune
Please don't pass me by
Let me know the magic
Of a kiss and a sigh

While the wheel is spinning
Spinning, spinning, spinning
I'll not dream of winning
Winning fortune or fame

While the wheel is turning
Turning, turning, turning
I'll be ever yearning, yearning
For love's precious flame

Oh, wheel of fortune
I'm hoping somehow
If you ever smile on me
Please let it be now

Each time I hold somebody new
My arms go cold thinking of you
No one can take your place, darling, in my embrace
I'll never be free

And when my lips burn with desire
No other kiss can put out the fire
Though I may try and try, no one can satisfy
This longing in me

(Chorus)
I'll never be free from your smile so tender
The sweet surrender in your eyes
How can I be free when I still remember?
How you could thrill me with a sigh
Just like a chain bound to my heart
Your love remains while we're apart

Each kiss I gave to you
Made me a slave to you
I'll never be free

(Chorus)

That kiss I gave to you
Made me a slave to you
I'll never be free

I wanna be loved with inspiration
I wanna be loved starting tonight
Instead of merely holding conversation
Hold me tight

I wanna be kissed until I tingle
I wanna be kissed starting tonight
Embrace until our heartbeats intermingle
Wrong or right

I feel like acting my age
I'm past the stage of merely turtledoving
(be careful, be careful what you do)
I'm in no mood to resist
And I insist the world owes me a loving

I wanna be thrilled to desperation
I wanna be thrilled starting tonight
(love me, love me, love me)
With every kind of wonderful sensation
I wanna be loved

I feel like acting my age
I'm past the stage of merely turtledoving
I'm in no mood to resist
And I insist the world owes me a loving

I wanna be thrilled to desperation
I wanna be thrilled starting tonight
With every kind of wonderful sensation
I wanna be loved

I'm an evil gal, don't you bother with me,
Yes, I'm an evil gal, don't you bother with me,
I'll empty your pockets and fill you with misery.

I've got men to the left, men to the right,
Men every day and men every night!
I've got so many mem, mmm I don't know what to do,
So I'm tellin' you daddy, I ain't no good to you!

I've got men in the east, men in the west,
But my man here in Harlem always loves me the best!
I'm an evil gal, and I need an evil man,
But I'm down in the dumps since I list him to Uncle Sam.

If you want to be happy, don't hang around with me,
Mmm, I said if you wanna be happy, don't hang around with me,
'Cause I'm an evil gal, and I want to set you free.

It isn't fair for you to taunt me
How can you make me care this way
It isn't fair for you to want me
If it's just for a day

It isn't fair for you to thrill me
Why do you do the things you do
It isn't fair for you to fill me
With those dreams that can't come true, Dear

Why is it you came into my life
And made it complete
You gave me just a taste of high life
If this is love then I repeat

It isn't fair for you to taunt me
How can you make me care this way
It isn't fair for you to want me
If it's just for today

My Darling, it isn't fair

I've got bad news baby, and you're the first to know,
Yes, I've got bad news baby, and you're the first to know,
I discovered this mornin' that my top is about to go!

I've been rockin' on my feet and talkin' all out of my head,
Yes, I've been rockin' on my feet and talkin' all out of my head,
Yes, and when I get through talkin', can't remember a thing I said!

Used to be a sharpie, always dressed in the latest styles,
Now I'm walkin' down Broadway wearin' nothin' but a smile!
I see all kinds o' little men, although they're never there!
I try to push the "A" trail and put whisky in my hair!
I'm a girl you can't excuse,
I've got those blow top blues.

Last night I was five feet tall, today I'm eight feet ten,
And every time I fall down stairs I float right up again!
When someone turned the lights on me, it like to drove me blind,
I woke up in Belle Vue, but I left my mind behind!
I'm a gal who blew a fuse,
I've got those blow top blues.

I've got a dentist who's over seven feet tall
Yes I've got a dentist who's over seven feet tall
Long John they call him, and he answers every call

Well I went to Long Johns office and told him the pain was killin'
Yes I went to Long Johns office and told him the pain was killin'
He told me not to worry, that my cavity just needed fillin'

He said "when I start drillin', I'll have to give you novocaine"
He said, "Yes, when I start drillin', I'll have to give you novocaine
Cause ev'ry woman just can't stand the pain"

He took out his trusted drill
And he told me to open wide
He said he wouldn't hurt me
But he'd fill my hole inside
Long John, Long John, you've got that golden touch
You thrill me when you drill me, and I need you very much

When he got through, he said "Baby that will cost you ten"
Yes when he got through, he said "Baby that will cost you ten
Six months from now, come back and see me again"

Say you're supposed to see your dentist
'Bout twice a year, that's right
But I think I feel it bobbin'
Yes I'll go back there tonight
Long John, Long John, don't ever move away
Say I hope I keep on achin' so I can see you every day.

I've got a man
He treats me like the rest
I said I've got a man
Treats me like the rest
He gets me so worried
I don't know where I'm at

Papa why you so salty
Why do you bring me down?
I said papa why you so salty
Why do you bring me down?
There's no complaint
When my other man comes around

When I give you all my lovin'
You say I wear you out
When I give you none at all
You say you can't do without

I ain't aghast with you
You need a different line
Go get a fortune telling woman
Who knows how to read your mind
