I'll Do Anything But Work

Ray Charles · Ray Charles Sentimental Vol. III [2011]

I'll take you strolling, 'round, lover's lane

I'll come to see you, even in the rain

I'll do anything for you, but work.



Sing your praises, hold your hand

Tell the world that I think you're grand

I'll do anything for you, (he-he) but slave.



I'll take you, to dine and dance

Fill your ears with sweet romance

See baby, I know I'm handsome but what the heck

I'm all yours if you pay the check.



I'm yours to have, yours to hold

But that word 'work' just leaves me cold

I'll do anything for you, but work.



--- Instrumental ---



I'll take you, out to dine and dance

Fill your ears with sweet romance

Baby, I'm so good lookin' it's a shame

But I'm all yours if you pay the check.



Yours to have, yours to hold

That word 'work' just leaves me cold

I'll do anything for you, but work...
