As performed 1983-08-08, Red Parrot Club, New York with the Count Basie Orchestra:

Don't need no palace paved with gold
Don't need more cash than banks can hold

When I get to feeling the feeling
For something there ain't so much of
My sweet l'il darlin' gives me her love

Don't catch me chasing round at night
I'm not impressed by glamorous sights

Lil’ darling may not be as pretty
As some other girls you might see,
But my little darling only loves me

Oh yes, I know my girl's in love with me
Something tells me constantly

So she was never chased by lots of other guys
She never won no beauty prize
It's me, and me and me all alone she can see

She's the kind of girl that likes to stay home in the evening
Well most of my friends tell me she's fair
Long as she loves me, I don't care

Lil’ darling may not be as pretty
As some other girls you might see
But my little darling only loves me

Yes, my little darlin' only loves me
But my little darling only loves me
She loves only me
