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 to rob and steal I give her everything she needs Because I am her driving wheel Well she left me this morning Said she'd be back soon Yeah, she left me this morning Said she'd be back soon She she'd be back early Friday mornin' Or late Saturday afternoon Yeah I wrote my baby a letter And I don't want nobody else to break the seal Yeah, I wrote my baby a letter And I don't want nobody else to break the seal I am her world, I am her driving wheel Now wait a minute Let me tell you 'bout my baby I said, "I wanna tell you 'bout my baby" Let me tell you 'bout my baby Every time she walk She's like a leaf shakin' on a tree Every time my baby walks She's like a leaf shakin' on a tree I said, "Come here to me, baby This is where you get your steak, potato's and tea"
