«Pretty Baby» (from the album «Love Somebody Today» 1980)
(*) Baby this time I know Yes you fooled around and you fell in love Honey I tell you so Yes you fooled around and you fell in love
(* repeat)
Boy you came along And you took my heart Gave it quite a start You had a love, fit like a glove Yes, it was the perfect love Don't get me wrong But I've heard that song I've seen that dance And I know romance All this to say it's a new day I've spoken to the owl The jig is up
(* repeat 2 times)
Now there you go You found a toy that brings you joy The love I feel - it still remains But you're not the same I see the change You've been acting strange I feel the pain I can't stand the strain What can I do I still love you Wanting you, needing you Holding you, loving you
(* repeat 4 times)
I'M A GOOD GIRL EASY STREET PRETTY BABY
(*) Oh what is this feeling I feel I don't like it - no Honey I don't know what's come over me I mustn't lose control You see I'm a good girl Oh what is this feeling I feel I don't like it - no Honey I don't know what's come over me I mustn't lose control of my senses
Even when I don't want to baby I can't stop the feelin' It just seems to happen And even when I don't need to baby I can't help myself You always seem to win
(* repeat)
Even when I first met you boy I knew it'd be good but never like this And even when you're so bad I can't hurt you no 'cause I just hurt myself
(* repeat 2 times ad lib)
(*) Easy Street The sidewalk's cleaner Easy Street The grass is greener Easy Street, Easy Street
I've spent some time on lonely street Right 'crosstown that's where I used to be When I fell by the wayside you see I got wrapped up in me And moved to only street I was searching high and low Looking for a place to go I caught the bus of opportunity Hopped into the front seat And I got off on
(* repeat 2 times)
Poundin' down the meanest streets And my stomach's wonderin' Where am I gonna get my next meal Been handed quite a deal My cycle's incomplete I had corns on my feet From the hours I walked the beat I'd like to drop it from my memory I found a way in me to wake the dead end
(* repeat 5 times and fade)
(*) Pretty Baby grew into a lady The people don't know what your mama know They don't Pretty Baby
In the light of the dawn A pretty babe was born Her mother she had sworn to take good care of her Every night mom would pray Her life would not be torn Her clothes would not be worn Until they dropped off of her My child, you dear, don't have no fear I'll shed the tears, keep your head clear My Pretty Baby
(* repeat)
Little girl I want you to attend the finest schools And never be a fool I've got experience Learn all that you can You'll find that in the end You'll learn how to depend on yourself It makes me glad you have the things I didn't have Never be sad, my Pretty Baby
(* repeat)
The people don't know what your mama know They don't (repeat 4 times)
