Baby Girl (2nd Version/Remix)

They say this town

The stars stay up all night

Well I, don't know, can't see 'em

For the glow of the neon lights

And it's a long way from here

To the place where the home fires burn

Well, it's two thousand miles and one left turn

Dear Mom and Dad, please send money

I'm so broke that it ain't funny

Well, I don't need much, just enough to get me through

Please don't worry 'cause I'm alright

See, I'm playing here at the bar tonight

Well, this time I'm gonna make our dreams come true

Well, I love you more than anything in the world

Love, your baby girl

Black top, blue sky

Big town full of little white lies

Well, everybody's your friend, you can never be sure

They'll promise fancy cars and diamond rings

And all sorts of shiny things

But, girl, you'll remember what your knees are for

Dear Mom and Dad, please send money

I'm so broke that it ain't funny

Well, I don't need much, just enough to get me through

Please don't worry 'cause I'm alright

See, I'm playing here at the bar tonight

Well, this time I'm gonna make our dreams come true

Well, I love you more than anything in the world

Love, your baby girl

I know that I'm on my way

Well, I can tell every time I play

And I know it's worth all the dues I pay

When I can write to you and say

Dear Mom and Dad, I'll send money

I'm so rich that it ain't funny

Well, it ought to be more than enough to get you through

Please don't worry 'cause I'm alright

See, I'm staying here at the Ritz tonight

What do ya know we made our dreams come true

And there are fancy cars and diamond rings

But you know that they don't mean a thing

Well, they all add up to nothing compared to you

Well, remember me in ribbons and curls

I still love you more than anything in the world

Love, your baby girl, ooh, ahh, yeah

Your baby girl (Dear Mom and Dad, please send money, I'm so broke that it ain't funny)

Don't need much just enough to get me through

Your baby girl (Please don't worry 'cause I'm alright, playing here at the bar tonight)

Do, do, do

Dreams come true
