Song: "My Baby"
My baby loves to play
My baby loves to play all day
My baby loves to play
So look out girls he's a comim my way
I work so hard all night long
So when I comes home at the crack of dawn
He greets me with his song and a well-earned smile
And wraps me in his arms to escape my trials
My baby loves to play
My baby loves to play all day
My baby loves to play
So look out girls he's a comim my way
He says the babies they've been cryin'
But so sweet when they're a lyiiY
In their beds so safe and warm
The dog's a howlin' tunes
To the cat jumpin' the moon
While we sneaks ourselves a tender storm
My baby loves to play
My baby loves to play all day
My baby loves to play
So look out girls he's a comim my way
There's nothing like my honey in a blissful tryst
Believe me sweet heaven on earth exists
So see ya later girls I've got business so fine
With the man who said "I do" way back in eighty-nine
My baby loves to play
My baby loves to play all day
My baby loves to play
So look out girls he's a comim my way
My baby loves me
All night long and through the day
