Baby Don't Go Lyrics
Baby don go
Pretty baby, please don't go
I never had a mother
I hardly knew my dad
I been in town for 18 years
& your the only boy I've had
I can't stay
maybe I'll be back someday
Baby don go
Pretty baby, please don't go
I love you so
Pretty baby, please don't go
I never had no money
I bought at the second-hand store
the way this old town laughs at me
I just can't take it no more
I can't stay
I'm gonna be a lady someday
Baby don go
pretty baby, please don't go
I love you so
pretty baby, please don't go
When I get to the city
My tears will all be dried
My eyes will look so pretty
No one's gonna know I cried
Yes, I'm goin away
Maybe I'll be back somday
Baby don go
Baby, I'll be back someday
Baby don go
Baby, I'll be back someday
This is an upbeat and light song, but it's really pretty sad... Leaving for personal reasons in spite of the person you love pleading with you not to go... :-(
I love the part when Cher sings "I'm gonna be a lady someday." It has this great sort of coming-of-age feel to it, like a kid ran away to become an adult. This song has always sort of depressed me; for some reason, even though she sings "I'll be back someday", I always listened to the song feeling like she didn't actually mean it. Eh.
I love how genuine and simple this song is, you can clearly imagine everything playing out.
You feel sorry for him and yet her too.
