Song lyrics to How Come You Do Me Like You Do? (1924) by Gene Austin and Roy Bergere
How come you do me like you do do do?
How come you do me like you do?
Why do you try to make me feel so blue?
I’ve done nothing to you
Do me right or else just let me be
‘Cause I can beat you doing what you’re doing to me
How come you do me like you do do do?
How come you do me like you do?
Sat up ’til daybreak
Didn’t even sleep a wink
My mind was wanderin’
All I did was think and think
The way I’ve been treated
Would drive a gal to drink, to drink.
How come you do me like you do do do?
How come you do me like you do?
Why do you try to make me feel so blue?
I ain’t done nothin’ to you
If you ever had to get you told
‘Cause I could take a temperature from hot to cold
How come you do me like you do do do?
How come you do me … How come you do me like you do?
