MAD ABOUT HIM, SAD ABOUT HIM, HOW CAN I BE GLAD ABOUT HIM BLUES
(Dick Charles (m) / Larry Markes (l) 1942)

Dinah Shore 1942



I went to bed last evenin’
Feelin’ blue as I could be
I couldn't sleep last evenin’
For what was worryin’ me
All the tears I've wasted
Would surely fill the deep blue sea.

I've got those sigh about him, cry about him
Morning where am I without him, blues
He keeps me walkin’ on the floor
And like a fool I ask for more
Although I know he isn't good
I wouldn't leave him if I could I know.

I'm not the first on his list
I'd never be missed
I wish I had a dime
For every girl he’s kissed
I swear I'd be a millionaire
And yet I wouldn't care
As long as I could get my share.

(bridge)

I've got those mad about him, sad about him
How can I be glad without him, blues
He makes my dreams go up in smoke
And then he treats it like a joke
He's just an ornery sort of guy
And yet I'll love him till I die, poor me
I've got those mad about him, sad about him
How can I be glad without him, blues.
