Baby, Gsee how I been living

Velvet Amcurtains on the Cwindows to

Keep the Gbright and unforgiving

Light from Amshining Cthrough

GBaby, I remember all the Cthings we did

When Gwe slept together

In the Cblue behind your eyelids

AmBaby, sweet Cbaby

Traced your Gscent through the gloom

'Til I Amfound these purple Cflowers

I was Gspent, I was soon

AmSmelling you for Chours

GLavender, lotus Cblossoms too

GWater the dirt, flowers Clast for you

AmBaby, Sweet Cbaby

TangeGrines and persimmons

And AmsugarCcane

Grapes and Ghoneydew melon

Enough Amfit for a Cqueen

Lemon Gtrees don't make a Csound

'Til Gbranches bend and fruit Cfalls to the ground

AmBaby, Sweet Cbaby

SOLO

Come to Gmy world and witness

The Amway things have Cchanged

'Cause I Gfinally did it, baby

I got Amout of La CGrange

GGot my Mercury and Cdrove out west

GPedal to the metal and my Cluck to the test

AmBaby, Sweet Cbaby

I been Gtryin' to enjoy

All the Amfruits of my Clabor

I been Gcryin' for you, boy

But Amtruth is my savCior

GBaby, sweet baby

If Cit's all the same

GTake the glory any Cday over the fame

AmBaby, sweet Cbaby

I been Gtryin' to enjoy

All the Amfruits of my Clabor

I been Gcryin' for you, boy

But Amtruth is my savCior

GBaby, sweet baby

If Cit's all the same

GTake the glory any Cday over the fame

AmBaby, sweet Cbaby
