Don'cha Go 'Way Mad
Forgiveness in Jazz Harmony: Decoding Frank Sinatra's 'Don'cha Go 'Way Mad'
Lyrics
I must confess what you say is true
I admit that what you're saying is accurate
I had a rendezvous with somebody new
I had a meeting with someone new
That's the only one I ever had
That's the only rendezvous I've ever had
Baby, baby, don'cha go away mad
My dear, please don't leave in anger
Cheatin' shows and it never goes
Cheating is evident, and it never leads to anything good
You got a reason to be mad I suppose
You have a reason to be angry, I understand
But she only was a passin' fad
But she was only a fleeting attraction
Baby, don't you be mad
My dear, don't be upset
Her kind's a dime a dozen
Women like her are common and not what I desire
And that's not the kind I want
I should've ignored her
Who'd ever dream your cousin
Who would have thought your relative
Would wander into that restaurant?
Would end up in that restaurant?
I understand that you feel upset
I acknowledge that you're upset
What do you say that you forgive and forget?
How about forgiving and forgetting?
Come on and kiss me just to show you're glad
Come on, kiss me to show you're happy
Baby, baby, don'cha go away mad
My dear, please don't leave in anger
Now, her kind's a dime a dozen
Women like her are common; I should have ignored her
I should've passed her by
I regret not passing her by
Who'd ever dream your cousin
Who would have thought your relative
Would come along and give us the eye?
Would give us a suggestive look?
I understand that you feel upset
I acknowledge that you're upset
What do you say that you forgive and forget?
How about forgiving and forgetting?
Come on and kiss me just to show you're glad
Come on, kiss me to show you're happy
Baby, don'cha go away mad
My dear, please don't leave in anger
Understand that you're quite upset
I understand that you're quite upset
What do you say that you forgive and forget?
How about forgiving and forgetting?
Come on and kiss me just to show you're glad
Come on, kiss me to show you're happy
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
My dear, my dear, my dear, my dear, my dear, my dear, my dear
Baby, baby, baby, don'cha go 'way mad
My dear, my dear, my dear, don't leave in anger
Now, don'cha go away mad
Now, don't leave in anger
