Watching that clock

Tic-toc'ing on by

Had to talk myself

Out of up and quitting outright

But I heard that we were working late

She took a deep breath

Next thing she had to say
D
Was honey I want you
[Chorus]

Baby's blue

Yeah she needs me by her side
C
So blue
D
I can hear the tears in her eyes
Em

But I'd walk away if I had to
Am G
Mm, baby's blue

Finally off work

Crank up my pick-up

Drive off like a madman

Cause she needs my love
Am
Like a songbird needs a tune
D
I'll tell you just what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna
G
Wrap her up tight

Kiss the tears out of her eyes
