You Gotta Be My Baby

(George Jones)



Oh, you said you wes my baby

Now I know that you're my baby

But it seems to me you got rovin' eye

If you wanna be my baby

Then you gotta be my baby

You can't keep your finger in two different fire.



I remember how you pleaded

When you told me that you needed

My lovin' I believe it without a doubt

So if you wanna be my baby

Then you gotta be my baby

And you gotta leave 'em kissin' cousins out.



Oh, when you're high steppin' I'm a crawlin' low

I get suspicious and I'm a gonna tell you so

If you wanna be my baby

Then you gotta be my baby

And be nobody's baby but mine.

Now I heard there was another

So I went and asked your mother

If anybody hung around 'sides me

She gave me no satisfaction

So now I can't take no action

But I think that I'll just hang around and see.



If you wanna be my baby

Then you gotta be my baby

And you gotta come to me and tell me so

If you're gonna be my baby

Then you gotta be my baby

I'm tired of waitin' round so let me know.



Oh, when you're high steppin' I'm a crawlin' low

I get suspicious and I'm a gonna tell you so

If you wanna be my baby

Then you gotta be my baby

And be nobody's baby but mine.



You've gotta be nobody's baby but mine...
