ERYKAH BADU
"Gone Baby, Don't Be Long"
(Erykah Badu / Shafiq Husayn / Paul McCartney)

As the wind blows in passing
Baby I think I'm fallin in love with you
Where you go when you gone baby? Whatcha do?
I know you gotta get your hustle on

[Chorus:]
So gone baby, gone baby, don't be long
Gone baby, gone baby, don't be long
Gone baby, gone baby, don't be long
Gone baby, gone baby, don't be long

Where you going with your stuff?
Baby, what's the rush?
You got me feelin like a girl with a fiendish crush - hey
When you're gone, where you go, boy I miss you much
But I know you got to get your hustle on

[Chorus:]
So gone baby, gone baby, don't be long
Gone baby, gone baby, don't be long
Oooh
Gone baby, gone baby, don't be long
I know you got to get your hustle on
So gone baby, gone baby, don't be long
Gone baby, gone baby, don't be long
Oooh
Gone baby, gone baby, don't be long
I know you got to get your hustle on

[Post-Chorus:]
I can't wait, to see what you'll do
It's not too much, to follow you through
Ooh, I can't wait, to see what you'll be
I'm gon' be here, 'cause I believe
So gone, gone baby

There's only one thing I'm still askin..
Why is it I feel you masking?
If this love that you feel is really real
And I know you got to get yo' hustle on

You laugh when you ask, "Baby, what's the rush?" (No-ho, baby)
When we touch, wanna know if it's love or lust, oh
Uh, 'cause I feel like a girl with a feindish crush
And I know you got to get your hustle on

[Chorus:]
So gone
So gone baby, gone baby, don't be long
Gone baby, gone baby, don't be long
Ooooh
Gone baby, gone baby, don't be long
Gone baby, gone baby, don't be long

[Post-Chorus:]
I can't wait, to see how you move
I like to watch, you do what you do
Ooh, I can't wait to see what you'll be
I'm gon' be here, 'cause I believe
So gone, gone baby

[Chorus:]
Gone baby, gone baby, don't be long
So gone baby, gone baby, don't be long
Gone baby, gone baby, don't be long
Ooooh
Gone baby, gone baby, don't be long
Gone baby, gone baby, don't be long
