Mary Kay Place - Baby Boy lyrics

rate me

Well, I never will forget<br />

The first time that we met, <br />

Dancin' squares and a do-si-do-in' at the V.F. Hall.<br />

He was old as my pappy, <br />

But that didn't make me unhappy.<br />

He was cute as the dickens, <br />

Just a doll.<br />

<br />

Had no hair on your head, <br />

But a lot above your lip; <br />

You was all dressed up in cowboy corduroy.<br />

Felt my soul start a thrashin'<br />

And my heart-strings a lashin'<br />

I knew I had found my Baby Boy.<br />

<br />

Chorus:<br />

Baby Boy, Baby Boy<br />

Sweet Charlie, you're my<br />

Big ole Baby Boy.<br />

Well, you're my life<br />

And you're my joy; <br />

You're my precious bedtime toy.<br />

Sweet Charlie, you're my<br />

Big ole Baby Boy.<br />

<br />

Later on that night<br />

You asked me would it be all right<br />

If you took me for a bit<br />

To the Tas-tee Freeze.<br />

Well, we shared some chunky tuna; <br />

Then we kissed under the moon-a, <br />

And I knew forever<br />

We'd be thick as fleas.<br />

<br />

And then quicker than a wink, <br />

I said, "Now, Baby Boy, I think<br />

It's time we tied the knot, <br />

Said nupital vows."<br />

My folks cried, "Cradle robber!"<br />

I said, "Please, he's my heart-throbber.<br />

The Lord wants us together<br />

Here and now."<br />

<br />

(Chorus)<br />

<br />

Ev'ry single day<br />

I count my blessings and I say, <br />

"Thank you, Lord for sending me<br />

My Baby Boy.<br />

Life with him's a pleasure<br />

And there's no way I can measure<br />

All the love I feel inside for Baby Boy.<br />

<br />

And I just found out today<br />

That our baby's on the way, <br />

An expression of our love<br />

And of our joy.<br />

Well, a girl would be delightin'<br />

And, oh, it sure would be excitin'<br />

To have my Baby Boy's baby boy.<br />

<br />

(Chorus)
