Dear Pam,
Is this the song you are referring to?
It's got to be OKOM as Bunk Johnson recorded it at his last record date on
23 Dec 1947.
Other New Orleans' band recordings of it include Paul Barnes Band (1960),
Earl Humphrey with Igor's Orch (1966), Tony Fougerat (1969), Roninson -
Fougerat Band (1974).
Kind regards,
Bill. 

*Someday You'll Want Me To Want You (Jimmy Hodges).

I know that someday you'd want me to want you
When I'm in love with somebody else
You expect me to be true and to keep on loving you
Though I'm feeling blue
You'd think I can't forget you
Until someday you'll want me to want you
When I'm strong for somebody new
And though you don't want me now
I'll get along somehow
And then I won't won't want you

Until someday you'll want me to want you
When I'm strong for somebody new
Although you don't want me now
I'll get along somehow
And then I won't I won't want you
