Some Of These Days
Ella Fitzgerald · Other Songs - Ella Fitzgerald
You're gonna miss me, baby
Some of these days
You'll feel so lonely
You're gonna miss my huggin'
You'll miss my kissin'
You may even miss me, baby
When I'm gone away
You're gonna feel lonely
And want me only
'Cause you know, honey
You always got your way
Say, baby, if you really want me, oh yeah
You know it's gonna grieve me
You're gonna miss your boney little daddy
'Cause one of these, ah yeah
Said, some of these days (I'll do it, Sophie)
You're gonna miss me, honey
And I'm talkin' about days
When you feel all blue
You're gonna miss my huggin'
You're gonna miss my kissin'
You may even miss me, baby
When I'm long gone away, ah
I hope you feel lonely
And want me only
'Cause you know, lover
Ya always had your way
And if you leave me
You know it's gonna grieve me
You'll miss your brown-eyed daddy (grab it now)
