Baby, Baby All The Time

(album: About The Blues - 1957)

Once I had a man
As sweet as he could be
Once I had a man
And he was oh, so right for me
Kinda sandy hair
Eyes so soft and blue
That you couldn't help but care
When he looked at you
He called me "baby"
"Baby", all the time

He said, "baby, try to see
Baby, understand
Baby, you're for me
Wont you take my hand?"
But I pushed him away
Wouldn't let him near
Pushed him far away
Now I'm wishing I could hear him
Call me "baby"
"Baby", all the time

Its so lonely through the day
Lonely through the night
Lonely, lonely hours
Without that man I held so tight
Lord, I pray that you
Will listen to my plea
Keep him close to you
So you'll come back to me
And call me "baby"
"Baby", all the time
