Baby don't go

by Sheryl Crow

She never had a mother
She hardly knew her dad
She's been in town for 18 years
And I'm the only boy she's had

Baby, I can't stay
Maybe I'll be back someday

Oh baby don't go
Pretty baby please don't go
I love you so, pretty baby
Please don't go

I never had no money
I bought at the second hand store
The way this old town laughs at me
I just can't take it no more

Said she can't stay
She's gonna be a lady someday

Oh baby don't go
Pretty baby please don't go
I love you so, pretty baby
Please don't go

When she gets to the city
Her tears will all be dry
My eyes will look so pretty
No one's gonna know I cried

She's goin' away
And maybe she'll back someday

Oh baby don't go
Pretty baby please don't go
I love you so, pretty baby
Please don't go
