AIN'T TO BE PLAYED WITH
(Thomas / Kirkland)

as recorded by Big Maybelle
1954


Well I ain't to be played with, don't you know I'm flesh and blood?
Well I ain't to be played with, don't you know I'm flesh and blood?
And I won't be confuse-ed, daddy I was made for love!

You gotta handle me easy, 'cause I'm skin and bone and hair,
Handle, handle, handle me easy, 'cause I'm skin and bone and hair,
I've got a little bittie heart, but there's a whole lot of love in there!

Well I ain't to be played with, I'm a real live livin' thing,
No no, no watch it, I'm a real live livin' thing!
If you know what I needed, hey, hey bring it when you can,
That's what you bring!
