I Want Ev're Bit Of It - Bessie Smith

Listen to my plea this mornin'

My love gonna get you told

Pay attention to my warnin'

'Cause you’ve been actin', quite too bold

Everything you give me must suit me to a tee

I want every bit of it or none at all

'Cause I don’t like it second hand

I want all your kisses or none at all

Give me lots of candy, honey, love is grand

Mama like lovin' both night and day

I don’t like no two-time, that’s why I say

I want every bit of it or none at all

'Cause I don’t like it second hand

No I don’t like it second hand

I want every bit of it or none at all

'Cause I don’t like it second hand

I want all your kisses or none at all

Just put up plenty, honey, that’s my command

Mama like foolin' with lots o' love

When you start to makin' love, no-one knows

I want every bit of it or none at all

'Cause I don’t like it second hand, no

I can’t use it second hand
