Fruits of My Labor |
| Baby see how I’ve been living |
| Velvet curtains on the windows too |
| Keep the bright and unforgiving |
| Light from shining through |
| And baby I remember all the things we did |
| When we slept together |
| And the blue behind your eyelids |
| Baby, sweet baby |
| Traced your scent through the gloom |
| 'Til I found these purple flowers |
| I was spent I was soon smelling you for hours |
| Lavender, lotus blossoms too |
| Water the dirt flowers last for you |
| Baby, sweet baby |
| Tangerines and persimmons |
| And sugarcane |
| Grapes and honeydew melon |
| Enough fit for a queen |
| Lemon trees don’t make a sound |
| 'Til branches bend and fruit falls to the ground |
| Baby, sweet baby |
| Come to my world and witness |
| The way things have changed |
| 'Cause I finally did it baby |
| I got out of La Grange |
| Got in my Mercury and drove out west |
| Pedal to the metal and my luck to the test |
| Baby, sweet baby |
| I been tryin' to enjoy all the fruits of my labor |
| I been cryin' for you boy but truth is my savior |
| Baby sweet baby if it’s all the same |
| Take the glory any day over the fame |
| Baby, sweet baby |
