Lyrics:

I say you are my queen, but you say I'm not so keen
Oh baby, what's the reason I'm not pleasing you

If I kiss you, you get mad. If I don't then you feel bad
Oh baby, what's the reason I'm not pleasing you

I tried so hard to be nice, and treat you as I should
But you keep me on ice and that don't do me no good

Since the night that we met, is the night that I regret
Oh baby, what's the reason I'm not pleasing you

I say you are my queen. (But she says you're not so keen.)
I wonder, what's the reason I'm not pleasing her

If I kiss her, she gets mad. (If you don't then she feels bad.)
I wonder, what's the reason I'm not pleasing her

Cause I tried so hard to be nice and treat her as I should
(But she keeps you on ice and that don't do you no good.)

Since the night that we met, is the night that she regrets
And maybe that's the reason I'm not pleasing...
That's the reason I'm not pleasing her

(recorded 1935)
