Lyrics
BABY DOLL
Copyright jerseyboymusic 2003
THESE CITY STREETS ARE NO PLACE FOR YOU WITH YOUR LONG WHITE GOWN
THOSE CITY BOYS WITH THEIR HUNGRY EYES WILL ONLY TAKE YOU DOWN
YOU?RE OUT OF CASH AND THERE IS NO WAY THAT YOU CAN GO BACK HOME
THAT SMILIN MAN WITH THE SILVER HAIR WANTS TO BE YOUR FRIEND
(CHORUS)
AND HE CALLS YOU BABY DOLL,UM UM UM BABY DOLL
BACK AT HOME TO TORTURED SOULS FACE THE NIGHT ALONE
THEY CRY OUT FROM A PITCH BLACK NIGHT TO A COLD DARK ROOM
YOU?RE MOMMA SCREAMS OH BOBBY WHERE DID WE GO WRONG
DEAR LORD PLEASE HELP US FIND OUR LITTLE GIRL
(BRIDGE)
DID YOU EVER THINK ABOUT THE THINGS YOU LEFT BEHIND
DID YOU EVER THINK ABOUT THE WAY THINGS MIGHT HAVE BEEN
ANOTHER HAPLESS MORNING IN YOUR RUN DOWN ROOM
YOU BROKE ALL THE MIRRORS FOR LOOKIN BACK AT YOU
BUT YOU CAN?T SHAKE THE MEMORIES THAT KEEP HAUNTING YOU
WHEN EVERY BOY IN YOUR LITTLE TOWN WANTED TO BE YOUR MAN
AND YOU KNOW THE WAY THIS STORY ENDS
