Dolemite Lyrics

She stays all night waiting for him
She stays alone...

I've been picking bad apples all my life
Could it be that fresh ones don't exist
Well don't you know, I've heard it all before
You cannot promise cherries without pit

I've been looking for sunshine all my life
Could it be that rain is all there is
Well do you know I've heard it all before
C'mon I know there's more to life than this

If you could see me, then
If you could see me the way you do now,
If you could want me, then, if you only knew how
If you could see me, then
If you could see me the way you do now,
If you could want me, then, if you only knew how

(Scat singing)

I've been picking bad apples all my life
Could it be that fresh ones don't exist
Well don't you know, I've heard it all before
You cannot promise cherries without pit

I've been looking for sunshine all my life
Could it be that rain is all there is
Well do you know I've heard it all before
C'mon I know there's more to life than this

If you could see me, then
If you could see me the way you do now,
If you could want me, then, if you only knew how
If you could see me, then
If you could see me the way you do now,
If you could want me, then, if you only knew how
If you only knew how
If you only knew

I can't show you now

She stays all night waiting for him
She stays alone waiting for him
She stays all night waiting for him
She stays alone waiting for him
