Baby I'm A

I found her diary underneath a tree.
And started reading about me
The words she's written took me by surpise
You'd never read them in her eyes.
They said that she had found the love she waited for.
Wouldn't you know it, she wouldn't show it.

When she confronted with the writing there,
Simply pretended not to care.
I passed it off as just in keeping with
Her total disconcerting air
And though she tried to hide
The love that she denied,
Wouldn't you know it, she wouldn't show it.

And as i go through my life, i will give to her my wife
All the sweet things that i can find.

I found her diary underneath a tree.
And started reading about me.
The words began stick and tears to flow.
Her meaning now was clear to see.
The love she'd waited for was someone else not me
Wouldn't you know it, she wouldn't show it.

And as i go through my life, i will wish for her his wife
All the sweet things that she can find
All the sweet things they can find

Daughter - don't give your love to the first man you see.
Just bide your time so your heart will be free to find the one,
Girl you don't have to run.

Daughter - don't think that love has gone out of style,
Just some folks every once in a while don't understand
How this world was planned.

Now i know you're wondering how
You know when the real thing is comin' your way,
When you live for him and not you
You'll know that it's truly comin' to stay.

Daughter - i know it's hard to make yourself wait,
But when the right man comes it's never too late
So don't you cry ,
He'll be here by and by... and steal your heart away.

You know that lately people ask what i'm
Doin' sittin' home alone all by myself
They know i'm used to bein' out and about and they
Don't know just what's become of myself
They say the swinger can't swing it no more
But they don't know what i'm hidin' behind my door
Because you know i know i've never known nobody
Nobody like you... nobody to do what you do
And when you're leavin' poor me all alone
You got me sittin' here sufferin' by my telephone
I been left... i been right
And when i'm wrong i know you're gonna make me
See the light
Because you know i know i've never known nobody
Nobody like you... nobody like you.
White other people dancin' romancin' and chancin'
Their lives every saturday night
Watchin' tv drinkin' tea her and me
And maybe even have us a fight
'cause an argument can be outta sight
When you love to argue and you know how to fight
I don't care about soul
I don't even care about no rock and roll
You know i don't care about nothin'
Nobody... nobody but you.

I see her walking in the velvet moonlight
But then she hides behind the clock of midnight
And as i look to see her face
She disappears without a trace...

Sometimes i find myself in endless wandering
When i awaken in the misty morning
And i must look to find my way
As i await the end of day.
Dream lady... dream lady...

And i await the end of day
Till nighttime comes again to stay
Dream lady... dream lady... dream lady...

I don't love you
I just want you
If i don't have you never be the same
I don't love you, but girl you'd drive a man
Insane

I don't love you
But i need you
I don't even want to know your name
Every single minute you know is causing me
Great pain
I don't come from 'cross the rr tracks
I don't need no little body hangin' off my back
If you got plans for me
You'd better start singin' the blues.

I told you before - don't you hear what i say
I won't take it no more - no more makin' me stay
Down on my knees - you know i'm down on my knees yeh
Yes i've been down on my knees
But i'm through beggin' please
I won't get back on my knees.

Nobody knows - what your puttin me through
Nobody knows - if it's worth it for you
Nobody sees - you got me down on my knees
Well i've been down on my knees
And i'm through beggin' please
Don't put me back on my knees.

You know how i always loved you
Never placed myself above you,

Don't let me go - if i wish that i could
Don't tell me no - if i wish that you would
Down on my knees - you know i'm down on my knees
Well i've been down on my knees
But i'm through beggin' please
Don't put me back on my knees.
