Like to Hear It Sometimes - Ray Charles, Betty Carter

I don’t want you to be no fool

And don’t treat me no special way

Just say

(I love you so) Now and then

(I love you so) Now and then

(I love you so) Hey now

(I love you so) Yes, sir

'Cause if you really, really love me, yeah

I like to hear it sometime

(I like to hear it sometime)

Sometimes you ought to take me in your arms

And say the words that I long to hear

You ought to sooth me with your magic charms

Call me «sweetheart», «darling» or «dear»!

I don’t want you to beg or cry

A little affection will satisfy

I don’t want you to be upset

I just want to hear you say

(I love you so) Now and then

(I love you so) Now and then

(I love you so) Hey, yes sir

(I love you so) Come on, baby, now

If you really, really love me, yeah

I like to hear it sometime

(I like to hear it sometime)

I don’t want you to beg or cry

A little affection will satisfy

I don’t want you to act upset

I just want to hear you say

(I love you so) Now and then

(I love you so) Now and then

(I love you so) Yeah

(I love you so) Yes, sir

And if you really, really love me, yeah

I like to hear it sometime

(I like to hear it sometime)

Come on, baby, say it again now

(I like to hear it sometime)

Do you understand what I mean when I tell you

(I like to hear it sometime)

Oh, whoa, oh

(I like to hear it sometime)
