Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Treat me sweet and gentle
When you hold me tight
Just squeeze me
But please don't tease me
I get sentimental
When you hold me tight
Just squeeze me
But please don't tease me
[Bridge]
Missing you since you went away
Singing the blues away all day
Waiting for you
[Instrumental]
You better get it before I forget the words
[Verse 2]
I get sentimental
When you hold me tight
Just squeeze me (I'll do it, babe)
But please don't tease me
[Instrumental]
Paul Desmond, ladies and gentlemen
[Instrumental]
You made us sentimental
The way you received our show
We'd love to squeeze you
Really don't wanna tease you
[Instrumental]
Missing you since you went away
Singing the blues away all day
Hoping and longing for you
[Instrumental]
Please let me hold you tight
For I get sentimental
When I hold you tight
Squeeze me
But please don't tease me
Don't tease
Don't tease, honey, come on, come on, don't tease me
Written by: Duke Ellington, Lee Gaines
