Baby Won't Ya

(album: High Time - 1971)

Oh, ah
Come on
It's alright, now, hey, hey, hey

I sat up here in my window
Looking down on the street
Strychnine poison woman
Man, don't you look so sweet?

Woo, I said come on up and see me sometime
I'm just a drunken sailor but I'm feeling so fine
I've been out sailing on the seven seas
Baby, won't ya give it to me?

Baby won't ya drive me mad?
Baby don't ya let me feel bad
Baby don't ya leave me alone
Baby won't ya carry me home?
Baby won't ya jump and shout?
You know what I'm talking about
Baby won't ya drive me wild?
Baby let me see you smile
Whoa, yeah, yeah
It's alright, now
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Oh, now

I see all the sickly, the sultry swingers
Standing on the ballroom floor
Sliding and gliding as she past by my window
She was a female mercenary coming home from the war
The ultimate inflection on the word perfection
I thought I'd drop by and say hi
Sweetly, serenely she showed me her gun
Baby let's go get high

Baby won't ya drive me wild?
Baby let me see you smile
Baby won't ya please come here?
Baby don't ya have no fear
Baby won't ya scratch my back?
Baby don't ya leave me mad
Baby won't ya drive me mad?
Baby don't ya let me be mad
Oh, yeah
Ooh, come on
Yeah, yeah, whoa

Whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Uh-huh, whoa, come on now, yooh-hoo

I sat down to the matters at hand
Trying to find a way to beat the heat
Outside my window was a bunch of tipsy gypsies
Dancing up and down the street
The lovely señorita took me by my hand
She said, "Oh, baby won't you be my man?"
I'll get yours and, uh, you'll get mine
Baby let's have a good time

Baby won't ya drive me mad?
Baby don't ya let me feel bad
Baby don't ya leave me alone
Baby won't ya carry me home?
Baby won't ya jump and shout?
You know what I'm talking about
Baby won't ya drive me wild?
Baby let me see you smile

Baby won't you please come here?
Baby don't you have no fear?
Baby let me hold your hand
Baby let me be your man
Baby won't you scratch my back?
Baby don't you leave me mad
Baby won't you please be true?
Baby let's wait for you

Baby won't you drive me mad?
Baby won't you let me be bad?
Baby don't you leave me alone
Baby won't you carry me home?
Baby won't you jump and shout?
You know what I'm talking about
Baby won't you drive me wild?
Baby let me see you smile...
