Lyrics for Song: Looking For A Sweetie (1967)
Lyrics for Album: The Complete Folkways Recordings [1993]
Here's another number. It was made , it was recorded in the '30s.
It was a steal from this number. You know the number, "Confessin'?
Isn't the right lyrics. The right title of the song is, "Looking For A Little
Sweetie". Rudy Vallee stole the number, and 'cause it wasn't copyrighted,
during that time I was working with ah, with ah, Chick Webb's band. And
here's the right lyrics to that song. [spoken words – Lonnie Johnson]
Looking for my a little sweetie, someone I can call my own.
When I find that certain someone, I'll take her home.
'Cause I'm longing for the lovin'.
Just a little kiss from you dear, promise me that you'll always will be true.
There's so many I know, but I'll always be faithful to you.
When we take our honeymoon, we can make that non-stop flight.
We can do a lots of spooning and lovin' by the starlight, oh baby.
We can save a lots of money, and build that bungalow for two.
If that certain sweet someone, would only be you.
I'm confessin' that I love you, tell me that you love me to.
I'm confessin' that I love you, honest I do.
I need you every moment.
In your eyes, I read such strange things, but your lips deny they're true.
Will your answer really change the thing that's making me blue?
I'm afraid someday you'll leave me, sayin' "Can't we still be friends?"
If you go you know it will grieve me, my whole life on you depends, oh baby.
And my guessin' that you're rid of me, and my dreaming dreams of you it's all in vain.
I'm confessin' that I love you, all over again.
See what I mean? The whole song, all the way down. [spoken words – Lonnie Johnson]
