about

“Mon Cheri” has a great tempo change from Mambo to Blues shuffle and back with a universal message of tough love.

lyrics

Well I woke up this morning
In a bad bad mood
I was thinking about my baby
Didn’t know just what to do
She’s never there when I need her
That kind of love will make me blue
When she walked in the door
I look her dead in the eye
I don’t like the way your doin'
I might have to say bye bye
She sat down at my table
She began to cry

Mon Cheri
Please don’t take your love from me
Mon Cheri
Papa don’t set me free
We got too much love to say Au Revoir
Mon Cheri

She sat there and told me
Well she sat there and told me
It’s you ain't doin' me right
I work hard in the daytime
While you’re out playing every night
Then when I need some lovin’
It’s you that’s clean outta site

She wiped her tears and she told me
All my love for you
I cook for you baby
And I clean for you too
What you say about the gander
You can say about the goose

I said no Cheri
Please don’t take your heart from me
Mon Cheri
Mama don’t set me free
We got too much love to say Au Revoir
Mon Cheri

Mon Cheri
Please don’t take your heart from me
Mon Cheri
Mama Don’t set me free
We got too much love to say Au Revoir
Mon Cheri
