[Verse 1]
Baby see how I’ve been living
Velvet curtains on the windows too
Keep the bright and unforgiving
Light from shining through
And baby I remember all the things we did
When we slept together
And the blue behind your eyelids
Baby, sweet baby
[Verse 2]
Traced your scent through the gloom
'Til I found these purple flowers
I was spent I was soon smelling you for hours
Lavender, lotus blossoms too
Water the dirt flowers last for you
Baby, sweet baby
[Verse 3]
Tangerines and persimmons
And sugarcane
Grapes and honeydew melon
Enough fit for a queen
Lemon trees don't make a sound
'Til branches bend and fruit falls to the ground
Baby, sweet baby
[Verse 4]
Come to my world and witness
The way things have changed
'Cause I finally did it baby
I got out of La Grange
Got in my Mercury and drove out west
Pedal to the metal and my luck to the test
Baby, sweet baby
[Verse 5]
I been tryin' to enjoy all the fruits of my labor
I been cryin' for you boy but truth is my savior
Baby sweet baby if it's all the same
Take the glory any day over the fame
Baby, sweet baby
