I must confess what you say is true
I had a rendezvous with somebody new
That's the only one I ever had
Baby, baby, don'cha go away mad

Cheatin' shows and it never goes
You got a reason to be mad, I suppose
But he only was a passin' fad
Baby, baby, don'cha go away mad

His kind's a dime a dozen
That's not the kind I want
Who'd ever dream your cousin
Would wander into that restaurant?

I understand that you feel upset
What do you say that we forgive and forget?
Come and kiss me, just to show you're glad
Baby, baby, don'cha go away mad

His kind's a dime a dozen
I should have passed him by
Who'd ever dream your cousin
Would come along and give us a eye?

I understand that you feel upset
What do you say that we forgive and forget?
Come and kiss me, just to show you're glad
Baby, baby, don'cha go away mad
