Lyrics

My sweet baby now
I think I?m finally working out
You want me running and searching
Searching for you baby now
You?ve got me hooked good, baby now
More the reason to let me down
Feel like I?m on a lead jerking
Like your puppy now

Because my heart says
Maybe I?m still hung up about you?
Couldn?t care less if that guy?s still around you
You send my love in to space
It stays in orbit around you

My sweet baby now
My sweet baby now
Saccharine baby now

Don?t think Jesus can save me now
I think I?m finally selling out
I'll get ambitious and sort this out
Sweet sweet baby now
Wondering how I got airborne now
I?m gonna hit the ground hurting

Because my heart says
Maybe I?m still hung up about you?
Couldn?t care less if that guy?s still around you
You send my love in to space
It stays in orbit around you
And I?ve been giving it up
For the choices I?m bound to

My sweet baby now?

You?re making it hard to love you.
