Business With My Baby Tonight
King Crimson · Other Songs - King Crimson
Of stepping out
Jealous rumors have her mind filled
With so much doubt
And i've gotta convince her
I'm not doing her wrong
Before she leaves me
Sad and all alone
So when the clock hits five
I'll be gone
There's a matter
That i'm gonna settle later on
So if the boss man talks
About overtime
I'm just gonna smile
And pay him no mind
I've got business with my baby tonight
We're gonna talk things over
And make things right
'cause i couldn't sleep at all
Since we had our fight
I've got business with my baby tonight
We'll go out to dinner
At our favorite restaurant
I'll hold her hand
And tell her she's all i'll ever want
When we get home
I'll take her straight to paradise
And we'll still be loving
Till the morning light
I've got business with my baby tonight
We're gonna talk things over
And make things right
'cause i couldn't sleep at all
Since we had our fight
I've got business with my baby tonight
Now don't you start talking
About gossip or news
I'm warning you now
I'll put on my walking shoes
'cause to me nothing in this world
Is a big deal
When it's compared to the way
She makes me feel, all right
I've got business with my baby tonight
We're gonna talk things over
And make things right
'cause i couldn't sleep at all
Since we had our fight
I've got business with my baby tonight
B.b.'s got business tonight
We're gotta talk things over
And make things right
'cause i couldn't sleep at all
Since we had our fight
I've got business with my baby tonight
