MY HEART'S DELIGHT
Charles Singleton / Rose Marie McCoy
as rec by Eartha Kitt w Henri Rene & his Orch Jan 10th 1955 New York
Well, the first thing I want in the morning,
An the last thing I want at night,
Is you baby, just you baby,
'Cause you're my heart's delight!
The first time that you ever kissed me,
And you squeezed me with all o' your might,
I knew baby, that you baby,
Would be my heart's delight!
Well, it ain't what you say it's the way how you say it,
You say "Love me baby!" and I have to obey!
Your sweet talk puts me at your command,
And you rule me with a wave o' your hand!
And that's why the first thing I want in the morning,
And the last thing I want at night,
Is you baby, just you baby,
'Cause you're my heart's delight!
Well, it ain't what you say it's the way how you say it,
You say "Love me baby!" and I have to obey!
Your sweet talk puts me at your command,
And you rule me with a wave o' your hand!
hat's why the first thing I want in the morning,
And the last thing I want at night,
Is you baby, just you baby,
'Cause you're my heart's delight!
