THE FRATELLIS
"Baby Doll"
(Jon Fratelli)

[Verse 1: Jon Fratelli]
Babydoll, do you believe they'll catch you when you fall?
And when morning comes, the sun is gonna shine
Don't forget your minor keys, your half lit cigarette
'Cause when morning comes, god knows that you'll be mine
So let me in
I'm ready to beg and to sing for my sins
Not leave it to chance and sweet coincidence
Oh, that's just crazy and you know it's true

[Chorus:]
Well, they said you was long gone
I just laughed and said "Alright, bring her home, tonight"
And I heard you was graciously put on
I just laughed and said, "Good night, guess it's alright"

Babydoll, the men who hang like flowers in your hall
Are asking when your love is gonna show?
And who knows why the love you need will always pass you by
Well, I heard it's true, your love is gonna grow

[Pre-Chorus:]
So let me know 'cause I can stay or, honey, I can go
Just to wherever you tell me so
And find my place there, and there I'll stay

[Chorus:]
Well, they said you was burned out I just laughed and said, "Come on, she's not burned, she's just gone"
And it took me too long 'til I found out
Faces that you know the best, oh well, I guess
And they laughed when you said you was leaving
Well everybody knows you well except for me, can't you tell?
And you watched from the wings of the late show
Roses by your feet of red, all for me, you said

[Outro:]
Babydoll
Babydoll
Babydoll
Babydoll
Babydoll
Babydoll
Babydoll
Babydoll
