Mixed Emotions - Ella Fitzgerald, The Ray Charles Singers

I have mixed emotions

When it comes to loving you

I know I shouldn’t like the things you shouldn’t do

But if you were perfect

It wouldn’t be the same

To a tiger a tiger’s not a tiger if he’s tame

But when you’re near me I am happy just alone with you

But when you’re far away from me I’m awfully blue

You’re the bitter and the sweet combined

So what am I to do

I have mixed emotions over you

(musical interlude)

I have mixed emotions

When it comes to loving you

I know I shouldn’t like the things you shouldn’t do

But if you were perfect

It wouldn’t be the same

To a tiger a tiger’s not a tiger if he’s tame

But when you’re near me I am happy just alone with you

But when you’re far away from me I’m awfully blue

You’re the bitter and the sweet combined

So what am I to do

I have mixed emotions over you
