Babies

Cocker / Senior / Mackey / Doyle / Banks

Well it happened years ago, when you live on Stanhope Road,
We listened to your sister, when you came from school
‘Cos she was two years older and she had boys in her room
I listened outside, I heard her, all right...
Well that was all right for a while, but soon I wanted more
I wanted to see as well as hear and so I hid inside her wardrobe
Yeah, she came home ‘round four, and she was with some kid called David
From the garage up the road,
I listened outside, I heard her, all right

Oh I wanna take you home, I wanna give you children, Yeah you might be my girlfriend
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.

When I saw you next day, I really couldn’t tell,
‘Cos you might go and tell your mother
And so you went with Neve, oh yeah, Neve was coming on,
And I thought I heard you laughing when his mum and dad were gone
I listened outside. I heard you, all right.

(Chorus)

Oh well I guess it couldn’t last too long
I came home one day and all her things were gone
I fell asleep inside, I never heard her come,
Oh I opened up the wardrobe and I had to get it on, yeah,
Oh listen, we were on the bed when you came home
I heard you stop outside the door
I know you won’t believe it’s true
I only went with her ‘cos she looks like you

(Chorus)

Oh...
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah...
Oh yeah...
