Lyrics
[Verse 1]
And when I work hard all day long
I tell you it don't bother me nohow
'Cause how could anything ever go wrong
[Verse 2]
When I got my baby, Lord, yeah
When I got my baby, Lord, Lord
[Verse 3]
And when they tell me love is pain
I said it might be true for you, honey
But not for Janis no more, no, no, no, no
All I've ever got to do is call out that man's name
[Verse 4]
Yeah, and I got m-my baby, Lord, yeah
Yes, I got my baby, good, good God
Honey, I wanna tell you I'm so glad I do
[Verse 5]
Deep down, honey, in the dark of night
When I lay my head down and wanna go to sleep
And I know everything is going to be alright
[Verse 6]
Yeah, I got my baby, oh yeah
Honey, I got m-my very own man, yeah
[Verse 7]
And when I wanna call on that man, he
Always seems to be there when I need him
And when I wanna reach out my hand
He always seems to hold me dear
Lord, don't you know how long I looked for you, daddy, daddy, daddy
Lord, don't you know how hard I tried
[Verse 8]
But now I've got my baby, oh yeah
Honey, I got m-my very own man
