must be my baby

Lyrics

now, frankie d. said he got it straight from roger miller, life's just like takin' candy from a gorilla, i started thinkin', man, this ain't so tough, that's about the time that the monkey showed up, sometimes, i can't find my heart with both hands, you know i usually got my head stuck down in the sand, i start to feel like i can't even breathe, what's the little breath of fresh air blowin' up my sleeve?, must be my baby, hey, hey, hey, she can make the mississippi river run other way, must be my baby, just in time, how she always know when i'm 'bout to lose my mind, run the other way, sometimes, it feels like everything's a drag, man, i could not smile my way out of a wet paper bag, it gets so dark that the clock stops tickin', man, just like night and day was playin' chicken, yet, i'm ridin' on the boiler of a long, black train, tryin' to find the brakes in a drivin' rain, i got smokestack lightning' pourin' out the funnel, what's the little light at the end of the tunnel?, must be my baby, hey, hey, hey, she can make the mississippi river run other way, must be my baby, just in time, how she always know when i'm 'bout to lose my mind
