See If I'll Care
Unraveling Love's Departure: See If I'll Care by Bessie Smith
Lyrics
You say that you leavin' ant that you going away
You're expressing intent to leave and go away.
But before you leave, dear, please let me have my say
Before your departure, allow me to express myself.
I know that you feel good now with nothin' on your mind
You currently feel content without worries.
But just mark my words, dear, there'll come a time
Despite your current state, a time will come.
I know you're gonna pay, you'll want me back someday
You'll regret and seek me out someday, paying the consequences.
To drive the blues away then see if I care
At that point, observe if I still care.
And when ya feelin' blue, no one to talk to you
When you're sad and have no one to talk to,
And you don't know what to do the see if I'll care
And you're unsure of what to do, observe my response.
Though you think nothin' of me and say that you don't love me
You disregard my importance and claim not to love me.
The time is comin' when you won't feel like you do now
A time will arrive when your feelings will change.
You're gonna call my name you know that you're to blame
You'll call for me, acknowledging your responsibility.
And you won't be the same then see if I'll care
At that moment, see if my feelings have changed.
I know you're gonna pay, you'll want me back someday
You'll regret and seek my presence to alleviate your sadness.
To drive your blues away then see if I care
Witness if I still care about your troubles.
And when ya feelin' blue, no one to talk to you
When you're feeling lonely and lost,
And you don't know what to do the see if I'll care
Observe if I'll still be there for you.
