Baby lyrics

wasting my time a shadow on the riverbank watching my reflection go to sea wind in my hair i could be most anywhere but i do not care to know not where i stand baby, i`ve been lost without you since i don`t have a place to call my home oh, my sweet baby, must i empty my heart? must i take what i can get and make it my own? as long as i love my baby i`m only lonely she said not to call said it would be best for all concerned if i just all but disappear she loves you best and i love her nonetheless so i just listen to the voice on the machine, singing baby, i`ve been lost without you since i don`t have a place to call my home oh, my sweet baby, must i empty my heart? must i take what i can get and call it my own? as long as i love my baby i`m only lonely maybe one day she`ll call me up and say "god damn you your baby`s crying and i`m lonely, come home" maybe i`ll find some guts someplace and drive up and you`ll be there playing on the porch and she`ll just say "baby, where you been?" and "ain`t your little man growing?" a pain in my mind a shadow on the riverbank watching my reflection go to sea baby, i`ve been lost without you since i don`t have a place to call my home oh, my sweet baby, must i empty my heart? must i take what i can get and make it my home? as long as i love my baby i`m only lonely
