I can't let my baby be
Tried to turn him to a shape
That would fit well with me
Now my baby's all alone
Ever since I up and gone
I can't let my baby be

I can't let my baby sleep
I wake him in the wee small hours
Of the morning breeze
Or I'd choke up on the tears
Like a faucet without gears
I can't let my baby sleep

How do you leave behind
A love that hasn't died?
He says to me and frowns
And I can't let my baby down
I can't let my baby down
Easy

I can't let my baby drown
If he sinks below the line of sight
I best be bound
To a life in debt
To sadnеss and regret
I can't let my baby drown
How do you lеave behind
A love that hasn't died?
He says to me and frowns
And I can't let my baby down
I can't let my baby down
Easy

Where do I go
If I got no road ahead?
Where do I hide
If I can't find nothing to stand behind?
'Cause I can't find nothing to stand behind

I can't let my baby leave
If he's gone I won't go on
Knowing how to believe
That love's some kind of dancer
If you call it, it'll answer
I can't let my baby leave
