Must Be My Baby

Now, Frankie D. said he got it straight from Roger Miller

Life's just like takin' candy from a gorilla

I started thinkin', man, this ain't so tough

That's about the time that the monkey showed up

Sometimes, I can't find my heart with both hands

You know I usually got my head stuck down in the sand

I start to feel like I can't even breathe

What's the little breath of fresh air blowin' up my sleeve?

Must be my baby, hey, hey, hey

She can make the Mississippi River run other way

Must be my baby, just in time

How she always know when I'm 'bout to lose my mind

Run the other way [?]

Sometimes, it feels like everything's a drag

Man, I could not smile my way out of a wet paper bag

It gets so dark that the clock stops tickin', man

Just like night and day was playin' chicken

Yet, I'm ridin' on the boiler of a long, black train

Tryin' to find the brakes in a drivin' rain

I got smokestack lightning' pourin' out the funnel

What's the little light at the end of the tunnel?

Must be my baby, hey, hey, hey

She can make the Mississippi River run other way

Must be my baby, just in time

How she always know when I'm 'bout to lose my mind
