Baby Love

Martha Wainwright


Baby love
Baby love is what we've got
Baby love 
Baby love is what we've got

No good poetry coming from my mouth
No neat chords ringing out, ringing out, ringing on my guitar

Just baby love
Baby love is what we've got
Baby love
Baby love is what we've got 

Leave behind your sadness 
I'll leave behind my loneliness 
Forget your hat 
I'll forget my dress 
Their'll only be time for us (?) 

When you touch me
It ain't really baby love
It's a true love
An adult love
With all the complications of 

There's a bridge in every song
To complicate things
And tell you what's wrong 
But I'm too tired after my baby playing 
Put your head on my lap & we could have some 

Let's nauseate the people around us 
Make 'em squirm, make 'em really, really jealous 
"Pretty uncool," my brother says 
"Lacking in decorum" & me & me & me 
So well bred

Oh, we are not babies 
I know that 
We do not have babies 
Thank God for that 

But when you eat and sleep 
You look just like a baby 
And when you whine 
You drive me crazy 
You might as well be my baby 

Oh, baby love 
Teenage love 
True love 
Adult love is what we've got 
Old love 
Real love 
True love is what we've got
