Baby

[Intro: Betty Wright]

Go ahead Stone, make it do what it do (baby)

Don't be acting cute now 'cause you know

Rolls up a lil something-something

I know you hear the roar of the crowd right now but

The same people you see going up, you see coming down

Say it

[Verse 1: Angie Stone]

Before you got your ends

And your brand new Benz

And your exclusive friends

I was your baby, I was your ride or die

And yes, your one supply

Of everything you needed

There was never room

For either to assume

That you would be leaving

But now that your brand new

And getting on through

Here's something to take with you

[Chorus]

I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

When you needed hugging

I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

When you needed loving

I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

When you needed stroking

I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

When you needed choking

[Verse 2: Angie Stone]

Now that you're flying high

Head up in the sky

Got everyone believing

You made it by yourself with nobody's help

Who're you deceiving

You already know

You're reaping what you sow

You better take it slow

Boy, let me warn you

While you're making your moves

Something to take with you

[Chorus]

I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

When you needed hugging

I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

When you needed loving

I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

When you needed stroking

I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

When you needed choking

Slow down, slow down

Tag team, Betty Wright, your turn

[Verse 3: Betty Wright]

Before you lose your mind

You'd better press rewind

And get some understanding

Don't want to waste my time

You see, I works for mine

And life is too demanding

Breaking every rule

Thinking that it's cool

Baby, don't you be no fool

Now that you're brand new and getting on through

Something to take with you

[Chorus]

I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

When you needed hugging

I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

When you needed loving

I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

When you needed stroking

I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

When you needed choking

[Bridge: Angie Stone]

Yes, I was your girl (you used to love me)

You used to love me (you used to love me)

(Kiss me and hug me)

(You used to love me)

You used to hug me

(Kiss me and hug me)

You used to love me (you used to love me)

Gave you everything

You used to love me

You used to stroke me

Oh, oho, oh, oh

[Chorus]

I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

When you needed hugging

I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

When you needed love

I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

When you needed stroking

I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

When you needed choking

[Outro]

Do you remember?

Do you remember?

Do you remember, yeah

You needed stroking

Give me what I want

I gave you everything you needed

I love you and I want you, baby

Giving you all my loving and then some

Baby, I didn't get it right for it

I was holding you down like crazy right there

You were in the pocket

I was in the socket
