I Still Want to Be Your Baby Songtext
von Bettye LaVette

I′ve been this way too long to change now
You're gonna have to take me like I am
I′ve been this way too long to change now
But you know, I'm still your baby
So what if I drink a little bit, that's alright
Daddy, didn′t you tell me you like to hear me laugh?
I might throw away some money
So what we still got enough to pay the bills at the first of the month


I′ve been this way too long to change now
You're gonna have to take me like I am
I′ve been just like this too long to change now
But you know I'm still your baby
I′ve been looking at the guys too long to turn my head
When a good-looking guy goes walking by
Daddy has good of my imagination
When you get me home at night
Don't I make it good to you, daddy?

All you gotta do is have faith in me, darling
You know I ain′t gonna do nothing I ain't supposed to do
Trust in me, baby, everything will be alright
'Cause I know I can count on you

I′ve been this way too long to change now
You′re gonna have to take me like I am
I've been this way too long to change
You know I′m still, you know I'm still your baby
I′m just setting my ways, you know I'm
You know I′m your baby

But I've been like this too long
I've been this way too long to change now
Ooh-ooh, you gonna, you gonna have to take me like I am in this way
Too long to change now
You gonna have to take me like I am
