Baby Have Pity on Me Songtext
von Cécile McLorin Salvant

You show your sympathy
To every bird and bee
But when it comes to me, dear
You laugh at every plea

Sweetheart, I need the bliss
The bliss of your sweet kiss
What can the answer be, dear
I can′t go on like this


Just like a beggar, what can I do?
Hungry for kisses and starvin' for you
Press your lips to my lips, Lord, have pity on me

Cravin′ for affection, my cravin' is strong
Put your arms around me where they belong
Press me, cares me, oh, have pity on me

One kiss and I'll know
I′ll go riding on a rainbow
Straight up to heaven
I will fly right to the sky

Can′t you hear me cryin' for sweet sympathy?
No love like your love can answer my plea
Press your lips to my lips, Lord, have pity on me
