My Baby Sure Knows How To Love - Original - Ethel Waters

When the world began

It started with a man

Now the world just begun for me

Other girls may claim

That all men are the same

But I’m one 'she' who never will agree

My bestest, I’m all in,

Shows he knows how and when

My Baby sure knows how to love

He’s got the kind of ways

That sets your heart ablaze

My Baby sure knows how to love

Never tempermental

Always sweet and gentle

Serenades me every night

He’s a prince of petters

King of all go-getters

Everything he does is right

A million Romeos

Don’t know half what he knows

My Baby sure knows how to love

I’d wash and scrub for him

And keep him looking trim

My Baby sure knows how to love

Though he throws it away

I’d bring him all my pay

'Cause my Baby sure knows how to love

If he should abuse me

He would never lose me

I would hang around his door

And if I caught him cheatin'

And I got a beatin'

I would only love him more

I’ll tell the universe

I’m his for good or worse

'Cause my baby sure knows how to love

Oh, my head spins like a top

He starts where others stop

My Baby sure knows how to love

Does he know his P’s and Q’s?

Why, he’s better than good news

My Baby sure knows how to love

Plays my ukelele

Likes to strum his daily

Makes my senses come and go

I forget my grammer

All I do is stammer

When he starts the rodeo

And what I say is no joke

That boy sure has a master stroke

Oh, my baby sure knows how to love
