Baby Let's Play House Lyrics

Baby baby baby baby baby
Come back baby I wanna play house with you

You may go to college
You may go to school
You may have a pink Cadillac
But don't you be nobody's fool

[Chorus:]
Now come baby come
Come back baby come
Come back baby
I wanna play house with you

Now this is one thing baby
I want you to know
Well-a, come on back to me little girl
We can make like we did before

[Chorus:]

Well now this is one thing baby
That I'm talkin' about
Well, come on back to me little girl
So we can play some house

[Chorus:]

Well, listen to me baby
Try to understand
Well, I'd rather see you dead little girl
Than to be with another man

[Chorus:]

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.
