Lyrics

My Baby Said

[Verse 1]

She was a waitress but convinced

She had been a dead movie star

Reincarnated to live the live of a queen

But the real scars she was nursing

Were not from her man but from

Her beast of burden because in real life

She could not live her dreams

[Verse 2]

All day long he drove a cab

For 30 years he was the man

Take you anywhere that you pleased

And for 30 years he was amazed

He took care of his wife and her bad legs

He thought he lived a life like a machine

And he hoped he could have been the

Drummer man in some great big band

That would drive the world wild with his beat

[Chorus]

And oh yeah

Baby said that

She always been a

She always been a

She always been a dreamer

Baby said that

She always been a

She always been a

She always been a dreamer

[Saxophone Solo]

[Bridge]

She ain't scared with her hands up in the air

She shows the world she's a super star

Can't you see

Are stars made or are they born

She's glamorous but so unknown

And she's always so well received

And easy to love and easy to please

[Chorus]

Baby said that

She always been a

She always been a

She always been a dreamer

Baby said that

She always been a

She always been a

She always been a dreamer

[Chorus]

Baby said that

She always been a

She always been a

She always been a dreamer

Baby said that

She always been a

She always been a

She always been a dreamer
