I know baby, what you’re trying to do

You can’t love me 'n my buddy, too

Oh babe, my babe, oh baby

If I had-a known like I know now

I wouldn’t-a been tied up with ya, no how

Oh babe, my babe, oh baby

It’s funny, oh my honey

How we had to start

I wasn’t thinkin' but you were thinkin'

How to break my heart

The way seem hard

But I guess it’s fair

I had a good home

And I wouldn’t stay there

Oh babe, oh babe, my babe

'Yes, swing now'

What goes with it finally'

Uh-huh

I know baby, what you tryin' t’do

You can’t love me 'n my buddy, too

Oh babe, Oh babe, my baby

If I had-a known like I know, now

I wouldn’t have been tied up with ya, no how

Oh babe, Oh babe, my baby

It’s funny, oh m’honey

How we had to start

I wasn’t thinkin', you was thinkin'

How to break my heart

The way seem hard

But I guess it’s fair
