Ella Fitzgerald - Why Can't You Behave? Lyrics

(from "Kiss Me Kate" - 1948 Broadway Musical)

Why can't you behave?
Oh, why can't you behave?
After all the things you told me,
And the promises that you gave,
Oh, why can't you behave?

Why can't you be good?
And do just as you should?
Won't you turn that new leaf over,
So your baby can be your slave?
Oh, why can't you behave?

There's a farm I know near my old home town,
Where we two can go and try settling down.
There I'll care for you forever,
'Cause you're all in the world I crave.
But why can't you behave?

There's a farm I know near my old home town,
Where we two can go and try settling down.
There I'll care for you forever,
'Cause you're all in the world I crave.
But why can't you, oh why can't you,
Oh why can't you behave?

Song lyrics written by Cole Porter

Anything Goes
My Heart Belongs to Daddy
Let's Do It (Let's Fall in Love)
Night and Day
It's De-Lovely
Too Darn Hot
All of You
Well Did You Evah?
Easy to Love
You're the Top
I Concentrate on You
It's All Right with Me
I've Got You Under My Skin
Wunderbar
I've Still Got My Health
Make It Another Old-Fashioned Please
High Society Calypso
Always True to You in My Fashion
Let's Be Buddies
Ça C'est L'amour
Why Can't You Behave?
Love for Sale
You'd Be So Nice to Come Home to
Just One of Those Things
So in Love
I Get a Kick Out of You
All Through the Night
Miss Otis Regrets
Begin the Beguine
Most Gentlemen Don't Like Love
True Love
Tom, Dick or Harry
Paris Loves Lovers
Get Out of Town
The Physician
Every Time We Say Goodbye
I Love You
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
I Love You Samantha
At Long Last Love
Down in the Depths on the Nineteenth Floor
Experiment
Satin and Silk
Everything I Love
Don't Fence Me in
Let's Misbehave
In the Still of the Night
