Baby Won't Ya Songtext
von MC5

Whoa
Come on
It′s alright now
Oh-hey

I sat up here in my window
Lookin' down on the street
Strychnine poison woman
Man, don′t you look so sweet

I said, "Come on up and see me sometime"
"I'm just a drunken sailor, but I'm feeling so fine"
"I′ve been out sailin′ on the seven seas"
"Baby, won't ya give it to me?", woah

Baby, won′t ya drive me mad
Baby, don't ya let me feel bad
Baby, don′t ya leave me alone
Baby, won't ya carry me home


Baby, won′t ya jump and shout
You know what I'm talkin' about
Baby, won′t ya drive me wild
Baby, let me see you smile

Oh, yeah-yeah
It′s alright now
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Oh, now

I see all the sickly, salty swingers
Standing on the barroom floor
Sliding and gliding as she past by my window
She was a female mercenary, coming home from the war

The ultimate inflection of the word perfection
I thought I'd drop by and say hi
Sweetly serenely, she showed me her gun
Baby, let′s go get high
Whoa!

Baby, won't ya drive me wild
Baby, let me see you smile
Baby, won′t ya please come here
Baby, don't ya have no fear


Baby, won′t ya scratch my back
Baby, don't ya leave me mad
Baby, won't ya drive me mad
Baby, don′t ya let me be mad

Ah-huh-huh-yeah
Woo-hoo, come on
Yeah, now
Whoa

I sat down to the matters at hand
Tryin′ to find a way to beat the heat
Outside my window was a bunch of tipsy gypsies
Dancin' up and down the street

The lovely señorita took me by my hand
She said, "Oh, baby, won′t you be my man"
I'll get yours and you′ll be mine
Baby, let's have a good time

Baby, won′t ya drive me mad
Baby, don't ya let me feel bad
Baby, don't ya leave me alone
Baby, won′t ya carry me home

Baby, won′t ya jump and shout
You know what I'm talking about
Baby, won′t ya drive me wild
Baby, let me see you smile

Baby, won't you please come here
Baby, don′t you have no fear
Baby, let me hold your hand
Baby, let me be your man

Baby, won't you scratch my back
Baby, don′t you leave me mad
Baby, won't you please be true
Baby, let's wait for you

Baby, won′t you drive me mad
Baby, won′t you let me be bad
Baby, don't you leave me alone
Baby, won′t you carry me home

Baby, won't you jump and shout
You know it′s what I'm talking about
Baby, won′t you drive me wild
Baby, let me see you smile
