Cécile McLorin Salvant - Baby have pity on me lyrics

You show your sympathy to every bird and bee But when it comes to me, dear, you laugh at every plea Sweetheart, I need the bliss, the bliss of your sweet kiss You show your sympathy to every bird and bee But when it comes to me, dear, you laugh at every plea Sweetheart, I need the bliss, the bliss of your sweet kiss What can the answer be, dear, I can't go on like this Like a beggar, what can I do? Hungry kisses and starvin' for you Press your lips to my lips, Lord, have pity on me Cravin' for affection, my cravin' is strong Put your arms around me where they belong Press me, cares me, oh, have pity on me One kiss and I'll know, I'll go riding on a rainbow Straight up to heaven, I will fly right to the sky Can't you hear me cryin' for sweet sympathy? No love like your love can answer my plea Press your lips to my lips, Lord, have pity on me One kiss and I'll know, I'll go riding on a rainbow Straight up to heaven, I will fly right to the sky Can't you hear me cryin' for sweet sympathy? No love like your love can answer my plea Press your lips to my lips, Lord, have pity on me
