I Can't Wait Until I See My Baby's Face

Aretha Franklin · Other Songs - Aretha Franklin

I can't wait until I see my, my baby's face

When I tell him that I'm through

Yes, I'm through with him

'Cause he's been running round

And I got to, to put him down

I can't wait to see the look

The look in his eyes



I wonder if he'll cry

When I tell him this is goodbye, yes it is

Or will he try to change my mind

And make me stay? yeah



Or will he turn around

And, with a smile on his face

Just walk away?

Just walk away



I can't wait until I see my, my baby's face

Gotta find out what I mean

What I mean to him

'Cause just one tear is all he's

got to, to shed for me

And I know that l will run, yes I'll run to him

I'll hold him tight

Never, never let him go, no-o-o



And I can't wait until I see my, my baby's face

You know, I just can't wait until I

see my baby's, baby's face

You know, I just can't wait until

I see my, my baby's face

I can't wait until I

I Can't Wait Until I See My Baby's Face
