I know your last man did you wrong

And I know you and your mama don't quite get along

And I know you'd help with the bills if you could

And I know that your intentions are basically good

But there's one more thing that I definitely know



It's baby,you've got to go



And I'm sure you'd cook if you knew how to use a pot

And I'm sure you'd clean if the soaps weren't so hot

And I'm sure you'd mop the floors if you weren't afraid of hot water

And I'm sure you do the laundry if you only had a quarter

And I'm sure that I wish that it just wasn't so



But baby,you've got to go



And I know that you want a career in high fashion

'Cause when you buy your clothes you do it with passion

Well that's chilly by me,you do what you will

But when you're finished,don't send me the bill

'Cause Halston and Jordache got enough of my dough



So baby,you've got to go



I'm sure you've got problems I can't understand

And I'm sure it's because I'm only a man

And I'm sure if I had an astounding I.Q.

I could solve all the problems that happen to you

But I ain't no genius,I just take it slow



So baby,you've got to go



Now I know you're worried about what Erica will do tomorrow

But that won't help pay back the money you borrow

And I know that each person must be someplace my dear

But I really don't know why you must be here

So this is the day for your last tale of woe



'Cause baby,you've got to go
