Ella Fitzgerald - Don't Be That Way Lyrics






[Ella]
April skies are in your eyes
But darling, don't be blue
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 through
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

[Louis]
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 in vain
So honey please don't be that way
As long as we
Will see it through
You'll have me
And I'll have you
Sweetheart
Tomorrow is another day
Don't break my heart
Oh honey, please don't be that way
Don't cry

Don't cry, don't cry
Oh honey, please don't be that way
Oh honey, please don't be that way
Clouds in the sky
Dig those crazy sky
Should never make you feel that way
So don't be that way
Dig the rain
Pitter pitter pitter pitter patter
Bring the violets of May
Pitter patter of the rain drops
Tears in vain
Tears, tears
So honey please don't be that way
Don't be that way
As long as we
[scat]
Will see it through
[scat]
Oh baby, you'll have me
[scat]
And I'll have you
[scat]
Sweetheart
[scat]
Tomorrow is another day
Tomorrow is another day
Don't break my heart
[scat]
Oh honey, please don't be that way
[scat]
Looky here, baby don't cry
[scat]
Oh honey, please don't be that way
[scat]
Clouds in the sky
[scat]
Should never make you feel that way
[scat]
Yeah, don't cry
[scat]
Honey, please don't be that way
[scat]
Clouds in the sky
[scat]
Oh honey, please don't be that way
No honey, I'll never be that way

  1. C.... A....

    Swing, honey!

  2. J.... D....

    Phenomenal voice. What a gift. Not comparing but Jim Morrison was extremely gifted with a crooning rock voice that he didn’t have a clue existed.
    I tend to be drawn In more when the person who composed the song and lyrics actually wrote it. I don’t believe anything is more pure when done by a great singer even more so.

  3. V.... L....

    Very different from Benny Goodman's version..

  4. f.... ....

    Grande Ella, very good, bye, Fred Italy, Milano, Ciao.

  5. T.... H....

    Does anyone have a lead sheet for this?

  6. j.... ....

    Magnifico.

  7. F.... R....

    Ella really swings in this rendition of Don't Be That Way!

  8. K.... M....

    I've heard of Ella Fitzgerald, but I never heard her music until I bought the movie My Fellow Americans With James Gardner and Jack Lemmon. They played about a minute of this song and I asked my dad who was born in 1929 who was singing. He said that's Ella Fitzgerald. Thanks for posting this. Now I can hear the entire song.

  11. K.... O....

    How can you NOT marvel at this woman's skill? Thanks for sharing.

  12. C.... B....

    My Girl is swinging' so hard on this! My GOODNESS!!!!

  13. G.... F....

    Here we are again, faced with Ella and her STAGGERINGLY brilliant voice, I can't wrap my brain around the fact that this voice of silk and sass are god given and then shared with the world. HOLY CRAP!

  14. S.... D....

    goosebumps .... just amazing. .. thanx for posting

  15. D.... S....

    This wass the version I've been trying to find. Thanks for uploading!

  16. s.... ....

    Her recordings made with the great Nelson Riddle (this song being a prime example) in the late 1950's and early 1960's really took her career up another notch. Swing 'em, Ella!

  17. s.... ....

    the best jazz singer ever for me,boy that lady sure could swing & I love the photo´s many of which I´ve never seen before.
