She's got the mind of a child

And a body peaking over the hill

Well, she would if she could

And she should but nobody will

With her nails painted red

And her hair so unnaturally curled

Well I think that she may be

The oldest baby in the world



She's tasted the night life

But it's left her with nothing but hunger

And all the available men

Seem to think that they want something younger

But youth is a costume

And the beauty within lies unfurled

And I think that she may be

The oldest baby in the world



Fast horses win races

And royal flushes beat aces

And everyone's playing to keep

So let's turn out the lights

And rock that old baby to sleep



She loves the sound of the rain

But you know she's still afraid of the thunder

She keeps a head full of hope

And a heart that's so full of wonder

She may look like a woman

But she's still some daddy's little girl

And I think that she may be

The oldest baby in the world

Yes, I think that she may be

The oldest baby in the world
