Walkin' My Baby Back Home

Natalie Cole


Gee 
It's great after 
Bein' out late
Walkin' my baby 
Back home
Arm in arm 
Over meadow 
And farm
Walkin' my baby 
Back home

We go 'long 
Harmonizing a song
Or I'm recitin' 
A poem
Owls go by 
And they give me 
The eye
Walkin' my baby 
Back home

We stop for a while 
She gives me a smile
And snuggles 
Her head on my chest
We start in to pet 
And that's when I get
Her talcum 
All over my vest

After I kinda 
Straighten my tie
She has 
To borrow my comb
Once kiss 
Then I 
Continue again
Walkin' my baby 
Back home

She's 'fraid 
Of the dark 
So I have to park
Outside of her door 
Till it's light
She says if I try 
To kiss her 
She'll cry
I dry her tears 
All through the night

Hand in hand 
To a barbecue stand
Right from 
Her doorway we roam
Eats and then 
It's 
A pleasure again
Walkin' my baby
Talkin' my baby
Lovin' my baby
I don't mean maybe
Walkin' my baby 
Back home
