Ruth Etting — Because My Baby Dont Mean Maybe Now

Because my baby don't mean maybe now Everything is lovely The world is so serene When I say things are lovely You know just what I mean It means that I'll be happy No more I'll have to guess I feel so oh-so happy Since someone answered yes Birds are singing merrily The sun is shining peacefully Because my baby don't mean maybe now When the preacher questions me I'll say "yes, sir, yessiree" Because my baby don't mean maybe now I just got a little letter Just yesterday Now I feel a little better And so I say... Life is short and mighty sweet But I know mine is quite complete Because my baby don't mean maybe now Birds are singing merrily Sun is shining peacefully Because my baby don't mean maybe now When the preacher questions me I'll say "yes, sir, yessiree" Because my baby don't mean maybe now I just got a little letter Just yesterday Now I feel a little better And so, so I say... Life is short, mighty sweet But I know mine is quite complete Because my baby don't mean maybe Maybe now
