Mr T Songtext
von Archie Roach

The first time I saw my baby
Began to walk
It made me look
Now he can talk

And the last time I phone my baby
It made him cry
And it made me cry
Now I know why

′Cause he's starting to understand the meaning of love

No, I can′t talk to my baby
On the telephone
When we're not at home
And he's all alone


Oh, but I know what′s going on in his mind
When we′re away
He like to say
Come home to stay

And he's starting to understand the meaning of love
Yes, he′s starting to understand the meaning of love

I wish I knew my own two sons when there were like him
Oh, but memories are there
When he holds me tight, then we share a kiss
Oh, I wonder was it like this

And sometimes I think my baby
Is a wise, old man
He helps me understand
My little friend

And I am starting to understand the meaning of love
Yes, I am starting to understand the meaning of love
Yes, I am starting to understand the meaning of love
Yes, I am starting to understand the meaning of love

And I am starting to understand the meaning of love
Yes, I am starting to understand the meaning of love
