I love my baby but she can't stay home She walks around the city all night long She's out there blowing on her saxophone It's music in my ear, it's what I want to hear I love my baby but she's never there She's down at Kenny's drinking shots and beer She made my measly payback disappear And though she's always gone. I know there's nothing wrong 'Cause when I see her on the street My heart and kick drum skip a beat I love my baby but she's wild and free She put a bullet hole in my TV That I don't see her doesn't bother me She's just down at the track she says she's coming back I love my baby but she's far away And she won't tell me what she does all day She'll keep my guessing 'till I'm old and grey The writing's on the wall she's heading for a fall But when I see her on the street The sidewalk melts from all that heat I love my baby but she can't stay home She walks around the city all night long She's out there blowing on her saxophone It's music in my ear, it's what I want to hear I love my baby but she's far away And she won't tell me what she does all day She'll keep my guessing 'till I'm old and grey The writing's on the wall she's heading for a fall But when I see her on the street I got myseld a ringside seat I love my baby but she can't stay home I love my baby but she can't stay home I love my baby but she can't stay home I love my baby but she can't stay home
