Can’t Stay Home Songtext
von Willie Nile

I love my baby but she can′t stay home
She walks around the city all night long
She's out there blowing on her saxophone
It′s music in my ear, it's what I want to hear

I love my baby but she's never there
She′s down at Kenny′s drinking shots and beer
She made my measly payback disappear
And though she's always gone. I know there′s nothing wrong

'Cause when I see her on the street
My heart and kick drum skip a beat

I love my baby but she′s wild and free
She put a bullet hole in my TV
That I don't see her doesn′t bother me
She's just down at the track she says she's coming back


I love my baby but she′s far away
And she won′t tell me what she does all day
She'll keep my guessing ′till I'm old and grey
The writing′s on the wall she's heading for a fall

But when I see her on the street
The sidewalk melts from all that heat

I love my baby but she can′t stay home
She walks around the city all night long
She's out there blowing on her saxophone
It's music in my ear, it′s what I want to hear

I love my baby but she′s far away
And she won't tell me what she does all day
She′ll keep my guessing 'till I′m old and grey
The writing's on the wall she′s heading for a fall

But when I see her on the street
I got myseld a ringside seat

I love my baby but she can't stay home
I love my baby but she can't stay home
I love my baby but she can′t stay home
I love my baby but she can′t stay home
