Little Mary

Fats Domino · I Found My Thrill [2011]

Little Mary, my baby, don't you hear me callin' you?



Little Mary, my baby, don't you hear me callin' you?



You got me reeling and rocking, don't know what to do, what to do?



I want you, I need you, you got me spinning like a top



I want you, I need you, you got me spinning like a top



If you don't love me, I believe my heart will stop, it will stop



I'm crying, the sun is shining but it's raining in my heart



I'm crying, the sun is shining but it's raining in my heart



You got me reeling and rocking since you and I've been apart, been apart



Little Mary, my baby, don't you hear me callin' you?



Little Mary, my baby, don't you hear me callin' you?



You got me reeling and rocking, don't know what to do, what to do?
