Ethel Waters
I Just Couldn’t Take it Baby
You just don't begin to know the spot you've got me in
If I ever thought you'd be untrue
I just couldn't take it, baby
Lovin' you the way I do

If it turned out I'd been givin' my fool self a ride
Had you figured out all wrong somehow
I just couldn't take it, baby
Couldn't do without you now

Some may take romance as just a song and dance
A game that they're just playing at
I just can't go gay and laugh love off that way
Can't help it, you've made me like that

Why, if I ever found out that it was just a runaround
And I didn't mean a thing to you
I just couldn't take it, baby
Lovin' you the way I do

Mmm, mmm
I just couldn't take it, baby
Lovin' you the way I do
Mhm, mmm, mmm, hmm
Just couldn't take it, baby
Lovin' you the way I do
Some may take romance as just a song and dance
A gamе that they're just playing at
But I just can't go gay and laugh love off that way
Can't hеlp it, I'm made like that

Why, if I ever found out that it was just a runaround
And I didn't mean an earthly thing to you
Oh, I couldn't take it, baby
Gee, but it's tough, I can't get enough
Lovin' you the way I do
