Said she'd be back soon And I don't want nobody else to break the seal Let me tell you 'bout my baby She's like a leaf shakin' on a tree My baby don't have to work And she don't have to rob and steal I said my baby don't have to work Man, she don't have

I can't wait to get away Thoughts are pissed away And for a minute I couldn't swallow You think your head's achin', I'm not finished yet I won't be mistaken, how soon you forget Take back what you said and I'll spare you pain Then you can spare me all

Well, my baby don't have to work And she don't have to rob and steal Yes, she left me this morning And she said she'd be back soon She shakes like a leaf tremblin' on a tree Wo, I sent the U.N. a telegram Don't want nobody else to break the seal Yes,
