I Just Couldn’t Take It, Baby - Lionel Hampton

You just don’t begin to know the spots you got me in

If I ever thought you’d be untrue

I just couldn’t take it, baby

Loving you the way I do

If it turn out I’m giving my fool self a ride

Had you figured out all along somehow

I just couldn’t take it, baby

Couldn’t do without you now

Some may take romance as just a song and dance

A game that they’re just playin' in

I just can’t go, «Hey, will I ever rub off that way?»

Couldn’t help you made me that way

Why?

Now, if I ever found out that’s just a run-around

I don’t mean a thing to you

I just couldn’t take it, baby

Loving you the way I do, yeah
