| Baby, I got news for you
|
| I just bought new shoes for you
|
| They just looked such a pretty blue
|
| I had to bring them right to you
|
| And I don’t care if I do the right thing by you
|
| Baby, you tell me, you look a mess
|
| I went out and I bought you this dress
|
| Bough tyou this so you’d look your best
|
| I hope you’ll love me more, I guess
|
| And I don’t care if I do the right thing by you
|
| Some folks are content to exist in a small tent
|
| I want a mansion with room for expansion
|
| Children, I want a million for a start
|
| Baby, you created this life for me
|
| A life of loving will always be
|
| Many’s the day I pray for us both
|
| I don’t want no bad things to break our oath
|
| And I don’t care if I do the right thing by you
|
| What’s with these old folks
|
| So hard and so cold folks?
|
| Don’t understand us, they just reprimand us
|
| Our pleasure, it’s at their leisure
|
| Oh, what a life
|
| Baby, I got news for you
|
| I just bought new shoes for you
|
| They just looked such a pretty blue
|
| I had to bring them right to you
|
| And I don’t care if I do the right thing by you |
