I must confess what you say is true

I had a rendezvous with somebody new

It's the only one I ever had

Baby, baby, don'cha go 'way mad

Cheatin' shows and it never goes

You've got a reason to be mad I suppose

For he was only just a passing fad

Baby, baby, don'cha go 'way mad

His kind's a dime a dozen

That's not the kind I want

Who'd ever thought your cousin

Would be sittin' there in that restaurant

I must admit that you feel upset

What do you say that we forgive and forget

Come and kiss me just to prove you're glad

Baby, baby, don'cha go 'way mad

Don't be mad, don't be mad, baby, baby, baby

Baby don't you go away mad, don't be mad,

baby baby baby baby don'cha

I must admit that you feel upset

Say what'll you to say if we forgive and forget

Come on and kiss me and for get

Baby, baby, don'cha go 'way mad

His kind's a dime a dozen

That's not the kind I want

Who'd ever thought your cousin

Would be sitting here in this restaurant

I must admit that you feel upset

What do you say that we forgive and forget

Come on, come on and kiss me just to prove your glad

Baby, baby, don'cha go 'way mad

Don't be mad, don't be mad, baby, baby, baby

Baby baby baby baby baby don'cha

Go away mad, don't be mad
