I Gotta Go Get My Baby Lyrics

When I woke up this fine, bright morning
It didn't look right to me
It seemed like something was awful wrong
And I wondered what it could be

I been thinking about it all day long
Trying to figure out what was wrong
Well, the answer just now came to me
My darling baby's gone

I gotta go get my baby wherever he may be
I gotta go get my baby and bring him home with me
I hate to leave your company, it's jolly as can be
But I gotta go get my baby and bring him home with me

Well, I guess I took that guy of mine
For granted too darn long
He must of got tired of waiting 'round
And thought he didn't belong

But Lawdy knows I love that man
More than I've ever shown
I'm gonna bring my loving baby back
And place him on a throne

I gotta go get my baby wherever he may be
I gotta go get my baby and bring him home with me
If I have to swim the ocean, well, look out Mister Sea
Cause I'm gonna go get my baby and bring him home with me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
