When Mom and Papa first laid eyes

On me right from the start

They knew right away a lover was born

I'd be breakin' lovers' hearts

(Breakin' lovers' hearts) At a very early age, yeah, I began to show sign

That a stone cold lover was born

Lord, I'm gonna let it shine, yeah

(I'm gonna let it shine, yeah) Girl, if I can't love you

A creole can't make gumbo

A drunken man don't stumble

A seein'-eye dog can't learn to lead the blind A bee don't deal in honey

The Beatles ain't got no money

And watermelons grow on a grapevine One day my papa told me

Son, sit down, I gotta talk to you

Said, don't believe I can't understand

I've been through the same thing too Said, You think you're pretty hot stuff

And you dig every girl you see

But listen, son, settle for one

It'll save a lotta misery in the long run If that don't get it, sonny

There ain't no barks in a dog

There ain't no grunts in a hog

And you can get blood from a turnip

If you squeeze and squeeze Tears don't go with the blues

Chicken wear high-heeled shoes

And Old McDonald's farm didn't have no trees I'm gonna take my papa's advice

Though it's gonna be hard to do

I'm gonna stop tryin' to prove a point

I'm gonna give myself to you, girl If I fail you, baby

Ain't no leaps in a frog

There ain't no bumps on a log

And you can get blood from a turnip

If you squeeze and squeeze A moo cow don't give milk

A egg don't got no yolk

And apple cider pours right out of trees, yeah

Baby
