| I’m checkin’up my baby

|
| I’m checkin’up my baby
|
| Trying to find out what she puttin down
|
| So many nights and days
|
| You know I have been out of town
|
| I’m afraid to write a letter
|
| I wouldn’t even make no telephone call
|
| I’m afraid to write a letter
|
| I did’nt make no telephone call
|
| Cause I didn’t want my baby to know
|
| I was back in town at all
|
| Wouldn’t even call nobody
|
| I wouldn’t even be seen
|
| I didn’t talk to nobody
|
| and I didn’t want to be seen
|
| I want to sleep off my pity as a midnight dream
|
| Checkin', checkin’up on my baby
|
| Tryin' to find out what she puttin’down
|
| Checkin' up on my baby
|
| trying find out what she puttin down
|
| Because I been a longtime
|
| Since I been back in town
