Baby Came Home 2 / Valentines

Original

She was five-foot four with some money on the floor

And a box that's hidden under her bed

I was only twenty two with a pocket full of truth

But I gave her everything that I had

We were born and raised in the Golden State

Mama's gone and daddy's doing his best

I was brought up great, living section eight

Social security's paying the rent, oh-oh-oh

(Ooh)

The landlord called, she said, "You gotta go"

(Ooh)

Little one, you just lost your

(Ooh)

(Yeah)

She was five-foot four, getting money on tour

But her socks were at the end of my bed

Got our names tattooed on each other, just to prove

To each other that we'd do what we said

Only took a few days 'til our minds were made up

We thought we should try it again

I was only 17 when we first tried things

When she first made me feel like a man

Ooh-ooh-oh

(Ooh)

Who am I gonna call?

(Ooh)

Who's gonna catch me when I

(Ooh)

Who's the one you're sleeping with?

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Well, don't you sit in front of me

And wait for me to talk

You can call me up

The phone works two ways, you know?

And this time, baby

Yeah, I think that I'll be just fine

And I wish I could say the same for you

I, I do, I

(Hey)

(To those of you in which I choose)

(To always love and be the closest to)

(There's something that you need to know)

(Loving me is not a joke)

(You can put it all on me)

(You can laugh and you can bleed)

(And I'll adopt it all because)

(That's just what a buddy does)

(I loved you from minute one)

(The iced tea to my lemonade)

(Never one to hit-and-run)

(Soaking every minute made)

(You can give me all your juice)

(I can squeeze it out for you)

(All I ask you in exchange)

(Love me back through every phase)

(If it ever comes off wrong)

(Or leaves you with a bitter taste)

(Just remember you're the tea)

(And I'm your sour lemonade)

(I'm your sour lemonade, ooh)
