Eric Bibb Bessie's Advice song lyrics

If the shoe don't fit, Honey don't keep it on

If you look for a king, why settle for a pawn

If you don't want to stay girl get gone, it's alright

Bessie told me in a dream last night

If he raises his voice look him straight in the eye

If he raises his hand tell him don't even try

If he starts to raise hell tell him bye bye, why fight

Bessie told me in a dream last night

Don't you mess with no dude that's rude and mean

Cause Baby don't you know you're a Queen!

Solo

Don't you keep no dude that's rude and mean

Baby Doll don't you know you're a Queen

And if he's doing right, Oh Honey,

let it show If his kisses are sweet let that man know If his love is

true, don't let him go,

hold tight Oh Bessie told me, in a dream last night

If he lights up your world, no matter where he been

If he's just what you want Honey,

tell him come on in Waaaive goodbye to your tears til they're clean

out of sight,

ba do day That's what Bessie told me, in my dream last night

That's what Bessie Smith told me, in a dream last night,

And don't you know I always take Bessie's advice

You know she just like a Mama to me, yeah!...

She said love that man, but if he treat you mean

Honey you just get right out of that Scene

That's what Bessie told me in my dream last night

And I always take her advice

Mmm...

Get it, bring it, put it right here

And if you can't do that you keep it out there

That's what Bessie told me in my dream last night

Yeah...

Girl you can't get better advice

That's what Bessie told me in my dream last night...

Mmm... in my dream last night She said:

Little sister, find a man that's gonna treat you right

That's what Bessie told me in my dream last night

If he's mean don't make a scene, just walk out that door

Cause Honey, you were born for a whole lot more

That's what Bessie told me, in my dream last night,

And I always take her advice

OOOh! Baba dode day-a, day-a...
