BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - Baby Doll lyrics

rate me

Oh Baby Doll

They tried to tell me you were deaf and dumb

But I knew they were wrong

You're just a silent one

Oh Baby Doll

They tried to tell me you could not feel

But I found out they tried to conceal

From you, that you were a woman

Well they brought you into their laboratory

And tried to get you to show and tell

They wanted to hear you say that you were sorry

And then they told you that you were conceived in hell

But Baby Doll, you knew

you knew that wasn't true

you knew that it was them

it wasn't you

Oh baby doll

It was so hard to know you

I could not tell, I couldn't show you

But I didn't have to, 'cause you already knew

Oh baby doll

They had to see by touching hands

We had to dance to a silent band

and you surprised me, being so graceful

I know you can't hear these songs I sing

But then they're more for me than they are for you

Because you don't need these songs, babe, like I do

Yeah, you knew the first time that I held you babe

You didn't have to hear how I love

Oh baby doll

They tried to tell me you were deaf and dumb

But I knew that they were wrong

And you were just the lonely one
