Baby Talk
[Verse 1]
Oh, I care for you, honey, at my own expense
But something's spoiling my sentiments
You open your mouth and it makes no sense
All you ever give me is baby talk
[Verse 2]
You're a fine grown woman, and that's a fact
But who could tell from the way you act?
When I pull up the car and we climb in the back
All you ever give me is baby talk
[Bridge]
I love sweet nothings, sitting in the dark
And I like to bill and coo
But it breaks my heart the minute you start
On goo goo goo and a-coochee coo
[Verse 3]
You drive me crazy, where will it end?
I feel embarrassed in front of my friends
It's a wonderful thing that you learned how to walk
All you ever give me is baby talk (Whoo)
[Bridge]
Oh well, I love sweet nothings, sitting in the dark
And I like to bill and coo
But it breaks my heart the minute you start
On goo goo goo and a-coochee coo
[Verse 4]
I'm sending you back to nursery school
When you start talking you sound like a fool
You can't even eat with a knife and a fork
And all you ever give me is baby talk
All you ever give me is baby talk
Well, all you ever give me is— (Ooh)
