Lena Horne - 'Deed I Do

I adore Lena Horne! And this song--sung in just this way--is one of my favorites to sing (in the privacy of my own shower). There's only one other video of this version here on youtube, but the sound quality is pretty bad, so I thought I'd make my own from the Great Ladies of Jazz cd I discovered Lena on.

Just checked out a few other versions of this song...This one is the best, by far.

Do I want you?
Oh my, do I, honey
Indeed I do
Do I need you?
Oh my, do I, honey
Indeed I do
I'm glad that I'm the one who found you
That's why I'm always hangin' around you
Do I love you?
Oh my, do I honey
'Deed I do
I'm glad that I'm the one who found you
That's why I'm always hangin' around you
Do I love you?
Oh my, do I, honey
'Deed I do
Honey
'Deed I do
Honey
'Deed I do

I had to piece together the lyrics cause anywhere I looked had wrong or scrambled lyrics.


Do I love you?
Oh my! Do I
Honey, deed I do

Do I want you?
Oh my! Do I
Honey, deed I do

I'm glad that I'm the one who found you
That's why I'm always hangin' around you

Do I love you?
Oh my! Do I
Honey, deed I do

Do I love you?
Do I! Oh, my! Do I
Honey, Honey, Honey, deed I do

Do I want you?
Do I! Oh my! Do I
Honey, Honey, deed I do

Gee! But I'm lucky I'm the one who found you
I'm like a child with my arms around you

Do I love you?
Oh my! Do I
Do I want you?

Do I need you?

Honey!

Deed I do!

I was oh, so blue till you came along
Just to make my life a wonderful song
You brought sunshine just to brighten my loneliness
Is it any wonder in my happiness
I confess

Do I want you
Oh my, do I?
Honey, 'deed I do
Do I need you?
Oh my, do I
Honey, 'deed I do

I'm glad that I'm the one who found you
That's why I'm always hangin' 'round you
Do I love you?
Oh my, do I?
Honey, 'deed I do

There are lots of others that I have met
Those you…

😍

My dad was a big Lena fan..no idea why...

[mindydawn]

@millsbrothers Hmmm, not sure, I just Goodsearched for Lena Horne images and gathered 'em from around the internet! Isn't she stunning?

Fred Sanford sang this to Donna on Sanford and son

I realize it's been many years since you posted this song, but would you mind posting the entire album "Great Ladies of Jazz?" I lost that album in a divorce 15 years ago, and miss all the great songs. I haven't heard many of the songs since then. This version of Deed I Do popped into my head today, and I was happy to find it here. Thanks for posting it.
