I'll be doggone if you ain't a pretty thing And I'll be doggone if you ain't warm as a breath of spring And if we live to be a hundred years old If you ever let that spring turn cold Then I wouldn't be doggone Hey! I'd be long gone Oh I wouldn't be doggone I'd be long gone Now did you hear what I say ? Well now what I say Oh, believe me Well, every woman should try To be what ever has man wants her to be And I don't want much All I want from you is for you to be true to me Well, I'd be doggone if love ain't a man's best friend Oh, baby, And I'll be doggone if you ain't the loving end Though I know you make me feel like no baby could If I ever found out that you're no good Then I wouldn't be doggone Hey, hey, hey, I'd be long gone Well I wouldn't de doggone baby I'd be long gone
