Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Baby, see how I been living
Velvet curtains on the windows too
Keep the bright and unforgiving
Light from shining through
[Verse 2]
Baby, I remember all the things we did
When we slept together in the blue behind your eyelids
Baby, sweet baby
[Verse 3]
Chase your scent through the gloom
Till I found these purple flowers
I was spent, I was soon
Smelling you for hours
[Verse 4]
Lavender, lotus blossoms too
Water the dirt, flowers last for you
Baby, sweet baby
[Verse 5]
Tangerines and persimmons
And sugarcane
Grapes and honeydew melon
Enough fit for a queen
[Verse 6]
Lemon trees don't make a sound
Till the branches bend and fruit falls to the ground
Baby, sweet baby
[Verse 7]
Come to my world and witness
The way things have changed
'Cause I finally did it, baby
I got out La Grange
[Verse 8]
Got my Mercury and drove out west
Pedal to the metal and my luck to the test
Baby, sweet baby
[Verse 9]
I been trying to enjoy
All the fruits of my labor
I been crying for you, boy
But truth is my savior
[Verse 10]
Baby, sweet baby, if it's all the same
Take the glory any day over the fame
Baby, sweet baby
[Verse 11]
I been trying to enjoy
All the fruits of my labor
I been crying for you, boy
But truth is my savior
[Verse 12]
Baby, sweet baby, if it's all the same
Take the glory any day over the fame
Baby, sweet baby
