Don Mclean - Where Were You Baby? lyrics

Where Were You Baby? - (Josh White) As recorded by DonMclean Now I've peeked through fancy boudoirs Searched through window grates But I only saw Republicans, romance and Southern states And where were you baby, when my heart went out? You left me ba___by, in all this darkness and doubt Now I've tried to replace you with a streetwalker named desire But price is up so high, hell I couldn't afford to try her It takes you my baby to put my fire out You left me baby, in all___ this darkness and doubt But tonight I think I'm gonna take some good advice I'm gonna look around and find somebody that's a really nice Well perhaps a banker's daughter and if her Papa's a cuss Well I hope to do to her what her Papa does to us And we'll have fancy shack and a fancy Cadillac And she'll be studying to be, a nymphomaniac And we'll have a little rye and we'll play a little gin We'll have another rye and we'll play another gin And then we'll have another rye just to get a little blow Have another rye just to make the conversations flow And then we'll have another rye and we'll play a little gin We'll have another rye and we'll tune some music in And then we'll have another gin.... and we'll play a little rye... And we'll suddenly realize that we're getting kind of high And so we'll turn the lights down low...... to keep the bulbs from getting hot And we'll play a little game called .. "Yes?"...."No!" ... Why not? But tonight I think I'm gonna find me something swell So I can wake up in the morning... miserable as hell Now when bu*ter costs a dollar, bread costs more than cake Come back soon cause think of what a gal like you could make Yes come back baby don't ever say that we're through Cos this time woman... I'd like to walk right out on you!
