But On The Other Hand Baby (Original) - Ray Charles/Betty Carter
Written by：R. Charles/P. Mayfield
You know I'm hooked for you mama
That's why you sling your weight around
You know I'm hooked for you mama
That's why you sling your weight around
Ah but as long as your lovin' beats your hoggin'
Little girl I'll never put you down
You argue when I leave for work
You argue when I get home
Everything I try to do for you
You always say that I'm wrong
I bring you home all my money
Except the little I keep for expense
And when I get home to you mama you always tell me
Ray you ain't got no sense
But on the other hand baby
You I can understand
Ah but when you put your loving arms around me honey
You make me forget about everything
I think about the lousy way you treat me
Your always-raising sin
I know that you know that I know
That you've got another man
Ah half the time when I'm at home
I have to go to a cafe and eat
And when you argue all night long
I have to go down to the den and sleep
But on the other hand baby
Your loving eases all my pain
And when you put your loving arms around me honey
You make old Ray forget about everything
