Let Me Tell You Babe

Nat King Cole · Other Songs - Nat King Cole

Let me tell you, babe

You got me crazy

You got your head in

Those big white clouds

Let me tell you, babe

You got me crazy

You don't know, girl

What life's all about

Let me tell you, babe

You must be dreaming

The world ain't spinning

Just for you alone

Let me tell you, babe

You must be dreaming

'Cause it's rough, girl

Out there on your own

And love that's worth your salt

Don't grow on trees

It won't show upon

Every breeze that blows

It beats me, honey

How your eyes don't see

They just don't see what's

Right in front of your nose

Let me tell you, babe

You just ain't thinking

The grass ain't greener

On that side of town

Let me tell you, babe

You know I need you

If you stay, girl

I won't let you down

(Let me tell you, babe)

If you stay, girl

(Let me tell you, babe)

I won't let you down

(Let me tell you, babe)

If you stay, girl

(Let me tell you, babe)

I won't let you down
