Baby Lyrics

Wasting my time A shadow on the riverbank Watching my reflection go to sea Wind in my hair I could be most anywhere But i do not care to know Not where i stand Baby, i`ve been lost without you Since i don`t have a place to call my home Oh, my sweet baby, must i empty my heart? Must i take what i can get and make it my own? As long as i love my baby I`m only lonely She said not to call Said it would be best for all concerned If i just all but disappear She loves you best And i love her nonetheless So i just listen to the voice on the machine, singing Baby, i`ve been lost without you Since i don`t have a place to call my home Oh, my sweet baby, must i empty my heart? Must i take what i can get and call it my own? As long as i love my baby I`m only lonely Maybe one day she`ll call me up and say "god damn you your baby`s crying And i`m lonely, come home" Maybe i`ll find some guts someplace and drive up And you`ll be there playing on the porch and she`ll Just say "baby, where you been?" And "ain`t your little man growing?" A pain in my mind A shadow on the riverbank Watching my reflection go to sea Baby, i`ve been lost without you Since i don`t have a place to call my home Oh, my sweet baby, must i empty my heart? Must i take what i can get and make it my home? As long as i love my baby I`m only lonely
