Would You
Fats Domino · Other Songs - Fats Domino
About you and me, I'm hopin'
That you'll come back to me, yeah-yeah
I'm lonely as I can be, I'm waitin'
For your company, I'm hopin'
That you'll come back to me
What you gonna do when the well runs dry?
You gonna run away and hide
I'm gonna run right by your side
For you pretty baby I'll even die
I'm walkin', yes indeed and I'm talkin'
About you and me, I'm hopin'
That you'll come back to me
I'm walkin', yes indeed and I'm talkin'
About you and me, I'm hopin'
That you'll come back to me, mm-mm
I'm lonely as I can be, I'm waitin'
For your company, I'm hopin'
That you'll come back to me
What you gonna do when the well runs dry?
You're gonna sit right down and cry
What you gonna do when I say bye-bye
All you gonna do is dry your eye
I'm walkin', yes indeed and I'm talkin'
About you and me, I'm hopin'
That you'll come back to me
Would You
Fats Domino's 'Would You' stands as a quintessential example of his mastery over the rock and roll rhythm, blending the raw energy of New Orleans with the polished production of the early 1960s. As one of the few songs recorded by the legendary artist without a specific album title, it exemplifies his signature style: a driving beat, a distinctive vocal delivery, and a song structure that prioritized danceability and emotional directness. The track captures the transitional moment when rock and roll began to dominate popular music, showcasing Domino's ability to craft catchy melodies that defined an era. While often associated with his more famous hits, 'Would You' remains a testament to his prolific output and enduring influence on the genre, proving that his most memorable contributions frequently reside in the catalog's quieter, yet equally powerful, tracks.
