My baby don't have to work
She don't have to rob and steal
My baby don't have to work
She don't have to rob and steal
I give everythin' she needs
Because I am her drivin' wheel

She left me this morning
Said she would be home soon
She left me this morning
Said she would be home soon
Back early Friday mornin'
Or late Saturday afternoon

I wrote my baby a letter
Don't want no one to break the seal
Yeah, I wrote my baby a letter
Don't want no one to break the seal
Stay close to my, baby
I am her drivin' wheel

Now wait a minute
I wanna tell you somethin'
I wanna tell you 'bout my baby
I wanna tell you 'bout my baby
Everyone tell you 'bout my baby

Every time she walk
She's like a leaf shakin' on a tree
Every time she walk
She's like a leaf shakin' on a tree
Stay close to my baby
Here's where you get your steak, potatos and tea"
