Just My Baby

  • Rickie Lee Jones / Pascal Nabert-Meyer


    It seems lately when I walk down the street
    There's something in my neighborhood
    It's getting stronger every day
    There's a rumor that lights up all of me
    And it whispers from the rooftops up above
    I must hold on or I'll fly away

    Oh, no, not the autumn leaves
    Lift you up like a flower in the cool night breeze
    My heart's just flying when he walks by

    Oh, but he's my inspiration
    Yes indeed my pride and joy
    Don't you say nothing bad about what's between
    Me and my baby boy

    My mom has her point of view
    "You'll learn the hard way
    If that's what you're gonna do"
    My sister don't have much to say
    My girlfriend told me when I was young
    "You'll know him the minute that he's there"
    Oh can't you feel it coming in the air?

    Oh no, not a summer song
    Makes the night feel better
    When the day goes wrong
    My heart's just a singer when he walks by

    Oh no, not a summer night
    You forget about tomorrow
    'Cause the world seems right
    There goes my baby walking by

    Oh, but he's my inspiration
    Yes indeed my pride and joy
    Don't say nothing bad about
    "What's between me and my baby boy"

    There goes my baby walking
    There goes my baby walking by...
