"Hey Baby" lyrics by Eldon McGraw
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
My baby left Detroit
And she aint comin back
I'm just here wastin away
With another six pack
She said she's goin home
To meet a friend from the past
She said to leave her alone
She's so sick of my crap
Hey baby, I can't leave you alone
Hey baby, pick up the phone
Hey baby, what do you want from me?
Hey baby, I don't want you to leave
Every woman has her wants
And every woman has her needs
My baby's like the rest
She's got desires to feed
She says that I'm stalking
Well that might be a fact
I just want her and me
To keep our lives intact
Hey baby, I can't leave you alone
Hey baby, pick up the phone
Hey baby, what do you want from me?
Hey baby, I don't want you to leave
Every man has his wants
And every man has his needs
I'm just a screwed up soul
With a woman I want to keep
My baby left New York
And she's comin back to me
Don't know if I want her know
What the hell is wrong with me?
Hey baby, I can't leave you alone
Hey baby, pick up the phone
Hey baby, what do you want from me?
Hey baby, I don't want you to leave
Hey baby
Hey baby
Hey baby
Hey baby
