I knew this morning as soon as the phone rang

That crazy woman had hurt you again

That's why I told you come on over

The coffee's warm and so are my arms

That you fit so nicely in

Poor sweet baby, poor sweet baby

Did my baby spend another sleepless night?

Poor sweet baby comes tomorrow

Let mama love your pain away

And make everything all right

If she don't love you why don't she leave you

And let a real woman light your fire

You're too big a boy to go to bed hungry

And the way that I need you

I could feed you anything your heart desires

Poor sweet baby, poor sweet baby

Did my baby spend another sleepless night?

Poor sweet baby comes tomorrow

Let mama love your pain away

And make everything all right

Poor sweet baby
