Mark Knopfler
Tall Order Baby
[Verse 1]
Well, gimme a little loving in the morning
I want a little loving like I see
But you wanna get your loving in the evening
When I wanna get some loving in the day
I tell her that I'm working in the morning
I tell her that I gotta get my rest
She tells me she's a-working on her loving
And she tells me that my loving is the best

[Chorus]
Well it's a tall order baby
And it's a tall order now
Well it's a tall order baby
But we gotta get our loving somehow

[Verse 2]
I don't want to go to sleep on you baby
I don't want to go to sleep on you now
But if I'm gonna go to sleep on you baby
Oh, you gonna do it anyhow
Well don't you turn your back on me, darling
Don't you know I'd like to stay up and play
But if I turn my back on you, darling
Oh, you're gonna do it some other way
[Chorus]
Well it's a tall order baby
And it's a tall order now
Well it's a tall order baby
But we gotta get our loving somehow

It's a tall order baby
Well it's a tall order now
Well it's a tall order baby
But we gotta get our loving somehow

[Verse 3]
Well I don't wanna go to sleep on you baby
I don't wanna go to sleep on you now
But if I'm gonna go to sleep on you baby
Oh, you're gonna do it anyhow
Well don't you turn your back on me, darling
Don't you know I'd like to stay up and play
But if I turn my back on you, darling
Oh, you're going to do it some other way

[Chorus]
Well it's a tall order baby
Yeah, it's a tall order now
Well it's a tall order baby
But we gotta get our loving somehow
Well it's a tall order baby
And it's a tall order now
Well it's a tall order baby
But we gotta get our loving somehow
