Dont Be That Way Lyrics

Artist: Benny Goodman
Album: Dont Be That Way

Don't Be That Way
Benny Goodman
by Benny Goodman, Edgar Sampson & Mitchell Parish

Don't cry, Oh honey please don't be that way
Clouds in the sky should never make you feel that way
The rain will bring the violets of May, tears are in vain
So honey, please don't be that way.

As long as we see it thru,
You'll have me, I'll have you.
Sweetheart, tomorrow is another day,
Don't break my heart,
Oh honey, please don't be that way.

Comments/Interpretations

The best vocal versions of this Edgar Sampson numer are those made at various times by Ella Fitzgerald. On the whole I prefer the instrumental versions by Goodman and others, particularly when the solo musician is on tenor sax and is aware of the lyrics, and consequently can put some emotion into his interpretation eg Babe Russin in the famous 1938 recordings.
