See If I'll Care

Bessie Smith

Compositor: Alex Hill / Alexander Bill / Clarence Williams

You say that you leavin' ant that you going away
but before you leave, dear, please let me have my say
I know that you feel good now with nothin' on your mind
but just mark my words, dear, there'll come a time
I know you're gonna pay, you'll want me back someday
to drive the blues away then see if I care
And when ya feelin' blue, no one to talk to you
and you don't know what to do the see if I'll care
Though you think nothin' of me and say that you don't love me
the time is comin' when you won't feel like you do now
You're gonna call my name you know that you're to blame
and you won't be the same then see if I'll care
I know you're gonna pay, you'll want me back someday
to drive your blues away then see if I care
And when ya feelin' blue, no one to talk to you
and you don't know what to do the see if I'll care
