I know baby, what you’re trying to do
You can’t love me 'n my buddy, too
Oh babe, my babe, oh baby
If I had-a known like I know now
I wouldn’t-a been tied up with ya, no how
Oh babe, my babe, oh baby
It’s funny, oh my honey
How we had to start
I wasn’t thinkin' but you were thinkin'
How to break my heart
The way seem hard
But I guess it’s fair
I had a good home
And I wouldn’t stay there
Oh babe, oh babe, my babe

I know baby, what you tryin' t’do
You can’t love me 'n my buddy, too
Oh babe, Oh babe, my baby

Oh babe, Oh babe, my baby
It’s funny, oh m’honey
