Cécile McLorin Salvant - For One to Love

What's the Matter Now?

Papa, papa, treetop tall
Hear your lovin' mama call
You ain't doin' too good
You ain't treatin' me like you should

Papa, papa, hear my plea
Stop mistreatin' me
You stay, you stay away
That's why you hear me say

What's the matter now?
What's the matter now?
I ain't seen your honey since a way last spring
Tell me, pretty papa, did you break that thing?

What's the matter now?
We can't get along somehow
I ain't had no lovin' in a long, long, long, long time
Tell me what's the matter now?
Daddy, tell me what's the matter now? Ooh!

What's the matter now?
What's the matter now?
You never treat me like a lovin' daddy should
Tell me, do you really think I'm made of wood?

What's the matter now?
We can't get along somehow
I want some of that honey from that sweet honeycomb
Tell me, what's the matter now?
Daddy, tell me, what's the matter now?
