Earl Hines — Sweet Honey Babe lyrics

Lyrics

Why did I listen to my friends?
When they told me what to do Yes, I still have my friends
But I don’t have you
And like true friends
They still come around
And say, «I'm sorry you’re blue»
Oh, everybody loves me but you
My friends don’t know what they’ve done
And well, they wouldn’t understand anyhow
I can’t tell them they were wrong
'Cause I’m afraid they’ll leave me, too
Now, it’s funny but more than ever
I need them now
I still ask my friends what to do But it seems they don’t know
How to bring, how to bring you back
They say, «What made him go?»
Yes, like true friends
They still come around
And say, «I'm sorry you’re blue»
Oh, everybody loves me but you
