Because My Baby Don't Mean Maybe Now - Ruth Etting

Everything is lovely

The world is so serene

When I say things are lovely

You know just what I mean

It means that I’ll be happy

No more I’ll have to guess

I feel so oh-so happy

Since someone answered yes

Birds are singing merrily

The sun is shining peacefully

Because my baby don’t mean maybe now

When the preacher questions me

I’ll say «yes, sir, yessiree»

Because my baby don’t mean maybe now

I just got a little letter

Just yesterday

Now I feel a little better

And so I say…

Life is short and mighty sweet

But I know mine is quite complete

Because my baby don’t mean maybe now

Birds are singing merrily

Sun is shining peacefully

Because my baby don’t mean maybe now

When the preacher questions me

I’ll say «yes, sir, yessiree»

Because my baby don’t mean maybe now

I just got a little letter

Just yesterday

Now I feel a little better

And so, so I say…

Life is short, mighty sweet

But I know mine is quite complete

Because my baby don’t mean maybe

Maybe now
