Oh Baby Doll
They tried to tell me you were deaf and dumb
But I knew they were wrong
You're just a silent one
Oh Baby Doll
They tried to tell me you could not feel
But I found out they tried to conceal
From you, that you were a woman
Well they brought you into their laboratory
And tried to get you to show and tell
They wanted to hear you say that you were sorry
And then they told you that you were conceived in hell
But Baby Doll, you knew
you knew that wasn't true
you knew that it was them
it wasn't you
Oh baby doll
It was so hard to know you
I could not tell, I couldn't show you
But I didn't have to, 'cause you already knew
Oh baby doll
They had to see by touching hands
We had to dance to a silent band
and you surprised me, being so graceful
I know you can't hear these songs I sing
But then they're more for me than they are for you
Because you don't need these songs, babe, like I do
Yeah, you knew the first time that I held you babe
You didn't have to hear how I love
Oh baby doll
They tried to tell me you were deaf and dumb
But I knew that they were wrong
Oh, baby doll, baby doll
He's my baby doll
He's good to me
So true to me
He's all right for me
You know I'm gonna love him forever
And give my life to him completely
I belong to my baby doll
He's my baby doll
He's so sweet
So handsome all the girls they envy me
Talking about my baby doll
When they see me holding his arm
Walking down the street
You should see me hold my head up high
It's a feeling I can't explain
Just proud to be walking with my baby doll
He's sugar to my taste
He's got sweet kisses
And a warm embrace
He's my baby doll, ooh baby doll
Please say he'll always be mine
From this day please tell me you'll love me
'Till the end of time
You know I'm gonna love him forever
And give my life to him completely
I belong to my baby doll
He's my baby doll, yeah
He's so right for me, yeah
The girls, they envy me, yeah
It's 2:11 and I'm stressing
Watching TV in my hotel suite
I check my service every second
At 2:10 you still hadn't called me
So I'm gonna leave my cell phone
Turned on in my purse by the bed
And before I fall asleep
I guess I'll just check my machine
Again and again because I'm
Obsessing on you
I wanna be your babydoll
Wrap me up nice and tight
Love me all through the night
Come lay me down
Enfold me in your arms
Cover me with velvet kisses
Rock me on and on
And whisper softly to me
You wanna be my babydoll
Zoning out thinking about
You and me between the sheets
I want to get intimate
But you're not within my reach
So I'll have a little more wine
And I'll try to drink you
Out of my head
And I'll lay awake awhile
'Til I'm high enough I can
Forget all about you until
I wake up again
Slipping into dreams
I feel my love surround you
My subconscious seems
To weave itself around you
Do you care for me
Beyond idolization
Tell me how you feel
But don't keep me at bay
'Cause I won't be waiting long
I wanna be your babydoll
Wrap me up nice and tight
Love me all through the night
Come lay me down
Enfold me in your arms
Cover me with velvet kisses
Rock me on and on
And cuddle up next to me
(Clarence Paul/Stevie Wonder/Ted Hull)

Ooh, baby doll
(That baby doll)
Oooohh
(Look out for her)
Baby doll
(Especially)
Hmmmmmm
(The amateur)
There's many a guy who'll sing you these blues
His dream was a lie, his heart's in his shoes
He wasn't so green, in ways he was smart
Till she hit the scene and she took him apart
He'll tell you as plain as day
"Keep away from baby doll"
(That baby doll)
(Look out for her)
You'll see in her eyes the warning you should
You oughta be ooh eyed, she'll lose you but good
As long as she's warm, the livin' is sweet
Then she'll raise a storm, you're back on the street
You might as well know, my friend, that's the end
You're cooked, you're through
(My friend, you're through)
(You're cooked, you're through)
She was my baby doll
And she'll do the same to you
(That baby doll)
girl of my dreams she don't love me
always the way it seems to be
my baby doll
light of my life she turns it on
over my head not close enough
my baby doll
baby doll
you look so good
baby doll
you feel so big
baby doll
you let me have it
why did you do it baby doll
quick-tempered queen knows what she wants
and what I got is what its not
Ever Since my baby left me
I found a new place to dwell
It's down on the end of a lonely street
called Heart Break Hotel
She left me in the gutter
with mud on my face
She left me in the gutter
a total disgrace
She took my manhood
and broke it in two
Now what's a broken
hearted man supposed to do?
Ever Since my baby left me
I found a new place to dwell
It's down on the end of a lonely street
called Heart Break Hotel
been so lonely, so fuckin lonely
So god damn lonely I could shit
I been so lonely, so fuckin lonely
So god damn lonely I wanna kill that bitch
cause
She was a cunt, she was a bitch
She left me with a crotch that itched
She was a cunt, she was a bitch
She left me with a crotch that itched
So I grab some pliers
pulled off her clit
Sit on her face and
make her eat my shit
Tie her up
beat her with bats
Stick her in the cellar
feed her to the rats
Poke her in the eye
fuck her in the socket
Get a dull butter knife and
cut her tit a pocket
Put a gun upto her head
make sure that fucked bitch is dead
She was a cunt, she was a bitch
She left me with a crotch that itched
She was a cunt, she was a bitch
She left me with a crotch that itched
Been so lonely, so fuckin lonely
So god damn lonely I could shit
I been so lonely, so fuckin lonely
So god damn lonely I wanna kill that bitch
Ever Since my baby left me
I found a new place to dwell
It's down on the end of a lonely street
called Heart Break Hotel
She left me in the gutter
with mud on my face
She left me in the gutter

She stops and checks her reflection
In a car parked on the corner
She says its hell on me This working down at the diner
Some people say man she was hot
Back when she was younger
Yeah well she was a dancer when she lived in LA
She was someone's baby doll
A beauty queen to someone long ago
From the midnight show
And if you close your eyes
You can hear the music playing
You can see her dancing underneath the spotlight
And when she sleeps
She dreams she's back in Hollywood
Back when all the world was young
She was someone's baby doll
She stops and checks her reflection
In the bathroom on her lunch break
She says “I still look good
For someone half of my real age”
Some people say “Man, I bet she still makes love
Like an earthquake”
Yeah, but man she ain't easy
She ain't lettin' you in my friend, my friend
Its time to wake up, baby doll
Put your best dress and your high heels on
And dream you're gone
And when you close your eyes
You can hear the music playing
You can see her dancing underneath the spotlight
And when she sleeps
She dreams she's back in Hollywood
Back when all the world was young
And she was someone's baby doll
She stops and calls an old friend
From the payphone at the subway
She says I feel like I'm just sitting here
Wasting my days away
It's time to move on, baby doll
And walk away just like you did before
When you wanted more
When you close your eyes
You hear the music playing
You can see her dancing underneath the spotlight
And when she sleeps
She dreams she's back in Hollywood
When she was a younger girl
A pretty heart in a tainted world
Not sure who you wanna be
Your daddy's little drama queen
I hope that when you find yourself
Honey, there's a funny feeling 'round my heart,
And it's bound to drive your mama wild
It must be something they call the Cuban Doll,
It weren't your mama's angel child
I went to see the doctor the other day, he said I's well as well could be
But I said, "Doctor, you don't know really what's worrying me"
I want to be somebody's baby doll so I can get my loving all the time
I want to be somebody's baby doll to ease my mind
He can be ugly, he can be black, so long as he can eagle rock and ball the jack
I want to be somebody's baby doll so I can get my lovin' all the time,
I mean to get my lovin' all the time
Lord, I went to the gypsy to get my fortune told,
She said you in hard luck, Bessie, doggone your bad luck soul
I want to be somebody's baby doll so I can get my lovin' all the time,
I don't know about your brain- but mine is really bossy I come home from a day on the golf course and I find all these messages scribbled on wrinkled up scraps of paper And they say thing like: Why don't you get a real job? Or: You and what army? Or: Get a horse. And then I hear this voice comin from the back of my head Uh huh (Whoa-ho) Yep! It's my brain again And when my brain talks to me, he says: Take me out to the ballgame Take me out to the park Take me to the movies Cause I love to sit in the dark Take me to Tahiti Cause I love to be hot And take me out on the town tonight Cause I know the new hot spot.

Little girl she's on the floor she gets it all

For falling falling down falling down and what a down

Help help she says I am not free
She says help me I am withering withering
Withering with a ring
Hang on soul it's a soul comes down
Girl you don't know what you are to me
You are my baby doll
You are my compass star
You drive me up the wall
Girl you don't know what you mean to me
You are my everything
You are my alien
From S-p-a-c-e
Please don't go
Wait
I just met you
Girl I feel just like a bird
Though I am just a nerd
I could fly around this world
With power from this word
We'll bring the desert rain clouds
Fuck reality and doubt
Well they'll be vultures I see
They'll chase me
Girl I'm flying with thee
Roses are red
Yellow and white
Where have you been all my life
Violets are blue
And I'll be too
If you leave
'Cause I just met you
Your my pop rocks
Your my cotton candy
When the beach is hot n sandy
Your my water
Your my morning shower
Sub-conscious melody
Your my lsd
Summers perfect daughter
Roses are red
Yellow and white
Where have you been all my life
Violets are blue
And I'll be too
If you leave
'Cause I just met you
I'm Sorry
But I got to
Got to go
I gotta go
you wanted her to "hush-my-baby"
you wanted her to paint her lips
you wanted her for always - maybe
smooth as china on your fingertips
she -
don't wanna be your Baby Doll
she - ooh lay
don't wanna be your Baby Doll
she traded in her matrimony
for a little bit of company
you're fighting like a tired soldier
you're hanging on too tightly
you wanted her to leave you breathless
like something from another world
she's feeling just a little restless
'cause she can't stop acting like a little girl
no she can't stop acting like a little girl
she -
don't wanna be your Baby Doll
she - ooh lay
don't wanna be your Baby Doll
the trouble is you turn away from her before she wakes up
the subtle look on her face disappears without a trace of...
you ending up looking through her when she washes off her make-up and
she don't feel very beautiful
she -
don't wanna be your Baby Doll
she - ooh lay
don't wanna be your Baby Doll
she -
all quiet, she do what you want
don't wanna be your Baby
don't wanna be your Baby Doll
she - ooh lay
Don’t wanna be a woman
To dress me up in furs
Don’t wanna be a woman
That looks at you and purrs
Ain’t no doctor for this sickness?
What I need is more, not less
Going over the edge
What I want is what I want is
Call me honey, got me sugar
Babydoll, get the door slammed right in your face
Babydoll, don’t wanna marry I just wanna love you
Babydoll, gotta be me gotta be free, yeh
Babydoll, you’re not playing me it’s me that’s playing
Don’t wanna be a woman
Just to get my bread and butter
Don’t wanna be a woman
Little wifie loving mother
Don’t wanna be the one to stay
The one you leave at home
When you go out to play
What I want is what I want is
Call me honey, got me sugar
Babydoll, hear me say right in your face
Babydoll, don’t wanna marry I just wanna love you
Babydoll, gotta be me gotta be free, yeh
Babydoll, you’re not screwing me it’s me that’s
screwing you
What I want is what I want is
Babydoll, get the door slammed right in your face
Babydoll, don’t wanna marry I just wanna love you
Babydoll, gotta be me gotta be free, yeh
Babydoll, you’re not playing me it’s me that’s playing
Babydoll, get the door slammed right in your face
Babydoll, don’t wanna marry I just wanna love you
Babydoll, gotta be me gotta be free, yeh
Babydoll, you’re not screwing me it’s me that’s
Baby doll is on her trapeze
Wearing the smile that she never sees
Thinking of a dollar as she tries to tease
Thinking of a dollar as she tries to tease
She's thinking of a dollar as she tries to tease
Baby doll, baby doll
Baby doll, baby doll
Time to play Sheba on a wooden stage
Taking off the clothes that are grimy with age
Rubbing down the skin that is white and cold
And the sticking plasters that cover up the holes
She stared at by a man that would do her harm
She needs to earn the money that will feed his arm
He promised you security, safe and warm
He promised you security, safe and warm
They'll never know the hurt that you feel inside
The emptiness you try to hide
They'll never know the hurt that you feel inside
The emptiness you try to hide
Baby doll
I would melt your eyes that are glassy and cold
And as for the future when you grow old
Baby doll, baby doll
They'll never know the hurt you feel inside
The emptiness you try to hide
Take a tiny costume from a pile of clothes
Just a touch of glitter and a lot of gold
Pick on a failure, make his knees go weak
Mouth open, eyes wide, fake your peak
Mouth open, eyes wide, fake your peak
Mouth open, eyes wide
Mouth open, eyes wide
Baby doll
He'll wipe a line of dribble running from his mouth
You make your wages later when you're back at his house
You try to hide the mirror 'cause it's never kind
You kickstart the heart that's so hard to find
You try to save your beauty and to draw the line
You bite your lip when you find it [Incomprehensible]
Continue your search for a genuine love
Continue your search for a genuine love
Continue your search for a genuine love
Baby, baby, baby doll
Baby, baby, baby doll
Girl you don't know what you are to me
You are my baby doll
You are my compass star
You drive me up the wall
Girl you don't know what you mean to me
You are my everything
You are my alien
From S-p-a-c-e
[Chorus]
[3x]
Please don't go
Wait
I just met you
Girl I feel just like a bird
Though I am just a nerd
I could fly around this world
With power from this word
We'll bring the desert rain clouds
Fuck reality and doubt
Well they'll be vultures I see
They'll chase me
Girl I'm flying with thee
Roses are red
Yellow and white
where have u been all my life
flowers are blue and i'll be too
if you leave 'cuz i just met you
plz dnt go (x3)
sorry but i got to, got to go
i got to go(X2)
Just like God gave Adam Eve, God gave you to me
And when I got you honey, I got love
My knees get weak and I just can't speak when I see you
Walk my way
And I know I'm getting tomorrow, what you gave to me today
You gotta love me 'till the sun comes up,
And 'till the sun goes down
Take me so high that my feet never touch the ground
Love me in the winter, spring, summer and fall
Love me baby, love me
Baby doll
Other guys may stare at you but honey that's okay
'Cause I'm the one that's holding you every night and day
With your big blue eyes and your ruby lips,
They knock me off my feet
No I never need any sugar,
'Cause you always make it sweet,
you gotta
CHORUS
Here you come sucking my energy and you
Suck it up right off the street
Babydoll
You are sucking my energy
I drill it in my good hole so that i can see
You are so much bigger than me you are,
You are so much bigger than me
Babydoll
My raw hand my fever blister
Watch me watch me disappear

All waste and void all waste and void
There you go in your nazi car
Oh baby what a whore you are

In the dark i destroy what i began what i destroy
She hangs in the blossom tree oh

Stick it inside of me well here you are just as ugly as me
Drill it in my good hole so that i can see yea

Babydoll
She starts to stare into the sun
Now i, i want a cancer that the crooked eye spied
You are mine and my energy cos baby

Little girl she's on the floor
She gets it all cos she's the whore
Little girl she's on the ground
She gets it off of falling falling down
Falling down no matter what
";I am, i am"; she says, ";I am not free"; she says
Help me i am withering
Withering withering
Don't cry melt your eye
'Cause you're too high to wonder why
Your plastic eye, fixed smile
And always nice but all the while
And you keep coming like a babydoll
Always crying like a babydoll
Teeth are white just like a babydoll
You are wise like a babydoll
About as real as a babydoll
It's alright in my mind
'Cause you're alive in my mind
You'll never find another bride
'Cause you're too high all the while
And you keep coming like a babydoll
Always crying like a babydoll
Teeth are white just like a babydoll
You are wise like a babydoll
About as real as a babydoll
I'll try, you'll try, you'll try, I'll try
I'll try, you'll try, you'll try, I'll try
And you keep coming like a babydoll
Always crying like a babydoll
Teeth are white just like a babydoll
You are wise like a babydoll
About as real as a babydoll
It's alright in my mind
baby doll oh baby doll
give a girl a smile
I got sixty dollars in my shoe
standin' in the rain
baby doll oh baby doll
racein' round the clock
words liftin' from the dark
standin' in the rain
I got blinded eyes
in the back o' my head
shootin' my foot instead
standin' in the rain
baby doll oh baby doll
florence was her name
wind blowin' hard as nails
standin' in the rain
chorus
last first
chorus
baby doll oh baby doll
You think I'm not strong
As if I'm made of glass
So easily broken, if I am provoked
And given the chance
You ask what's wrong
When I swim against the tide
Got me trapped in a box
I'm trying to unlock
From somewhere inside
And you say I'm changin`
But I don't give a damn
Cuz' I can't restrain
Who I am
Cuz' I'm not your paper doll
You can't keep undressing me
I don't fit in
To what you see
I won't fall
Just cuz you're touching me
I'm not cut out
For what you need
You think I'm a good girl
Does that make you feel secure
If you opened your mind
Are you scared you might find
You're not so sure
You think I'm submissive
In your eyes I'm bound
Well too bad for you
You shouldn't assume
I'd take it lying down
I'm not your paper doll
You can't keep undressing me
I don't fit in
To what you see
I won't fall
Just cuz you're touching me
I'm not cut out
For what you need
Paper doll
You can't keep undressing me
I don't fit in
To what you see
I won't fall
Just cuz you're touching me
I'm not cut out
For what you need
And I don't give a damn
Cuz' I can't restrain
Who I am
I'm not your paper doll
You can't keep undressing me
I don't fit in
To what you see
I won't fall
Just cuz you're touching me
I'm not cut out
For what you need
Paper doll
You can't keep undressing me
I don't fit in
To what you see
I won't fall
Just cuz you're touching me
I'm not cut out
For what you need
Paper doll
You can't keep undressing me
I don't fit in
To what you see
I won't fall
Just cuz you're touching me
I'm not cut out
Baby doll, you've been lonely I've been out of town
Play me unintended, circus clown
Looking for a someone just like you, girl
But now the stars are going out
An old familiar house are falling off the grid
I wanna get back on your list and resurrect the things we did
Baby doll, I've been circling the whole world 'round
Trying to find the ones who stole my sound
So I could bring it back to you, girl
You'll be stashed and sad, and I'll be purring like a kitty cat
And you won't sit in silence like you do
Then you can tell me I'm the only one you make love to me too
And I don't want to love, no one else to love
No one else to love, no one else
And I don't want to love, no one else to love
No, I only wanna love my baby doll
Baby doll, I've been knotting candles into wings
So I can fly up high and buy a things
Diamond rings and pretty horses too
It's much less than you deserve but if I don't I'm guessing
I won't get the chance to make amends
While I'm paying you be and the ladies
Making contact with your friends then you'll disappear again
And I don't want to lose, no one else to lose
No one else to lose, no one else
And I don't want to lose, no one else to lose
No, I only wanna lose my baby doll
When I saw you laughing, you would shine like the sun
And reflected in your life, I would shine like the one
And I don't want to love, no one else to love
No one else to love, no one else
And I don't want to love, no one else to love
No, I only wanna love my baby doll
No one else to lose
No one else to lose, no one else
And I don't want to lose, no one else to lose

Lyrics: Johnny Mercer
Premiere: 1952
Verse:
To say I'm fond of you would merely be an attitude,
To say you're wonderful would be a platitude;
And so to Santa Claus I owe eternal gratitude
For leaving you beneath my Christmas tree.
Male chorus:
Baby Doll, you beautiful Baby Doll,
Let's go home and tell your mother
That you found a baby brother.
I'm takin' you off the shelf
And showin' you off myself;
Can't you see it now?
I'm takin' you walkin'
Holding your parasol;
Ah, honey, there's no use talkin'
You're a beautiful Baby Doll.
Female chorus:
Baby Doll, you beautiful Baby Doll,
Let's go home and tell my mother
That I found a baby brother.
I'm takin' you off the shelf
And showin' you off myself;
Can't you see it now?
You're takin' me walkin'
Holding my parasol;
Ah, honey, there's no use talkin'
You're a beautiful Baby Doll.
