Pretty Baby

You see me drinkin' there every night
Because I'm awful and the mood is right
You'll come and go but I'm a permanent sight
Pretty Baby, don't you start a fight

I get home and it's the same old sound
Drunk again and all the lights are down
I'm feelin' Pretty Baby, don't you shout
That's right woman, let your guard down

Go ahead! Walk away
Just watch out what you say
Cuz I don't need new problems today
And I got a habit of gettin' my way
Take your time coming back
If you should leave, well that's a drag
Cuz I'm in no mood to hold back
I'll be here, you'll be exactly the same

You know I'm sorry darlin' don't you cry
But morning's coming and my sleight is dry
Believe me Pretty Baby, I don't lie
I'll take it easier next time

Life's not easy being dealt this hand
I don't complain and I don't take a stand
But you, you're nothing, you just need a dad
I just want a Pretty Baby to be her man

Go ahead! Walk away
Just watch out what you say
Cuz I don't need new problems today
And I got a habit of gettin' my way
Take your time coming back
If you should leave, well that's a drag
Cuz I'm in no mood to hold back
I'll be here, you'll be exactly the same

And she's shakin', breathless, holds her tongue
But I'll be right before I'm done!

Go ahead! Walk away
Just watch out what you say
Cuz I don't need new problems today
And I got a habit of gettin' away
Take your time coming back
If you should leave, well that's a drag
Cuz I'm in no mood to hold back
You'll be here, I'll be exactly the same

Too much complainin' gotta fix my head
My temper's burnin' and my face is red
My hands look Pretty Baby 'round your neck
But you'd look even better in my bed

My heart is empty and my head is wild
I'm spinnin', fixin' for a real rough time
She says, "Now wait a minute, I'm with child!"
Well it's a Pretty Baby, I don't really mind

Go ahead! Say your peace
Just make sure before you leave
That there ain't no more breath in me
If I ain't dead, well then you're soon to be
And Take your time, before you judge
Cuz she came back. She claimed love
I never asked her not to run
And I never bought all that shit on love anyway
