Lyrics
I asked my babe to dinner she said we’re meeting up with the team
I asked my babe to dinner she said we’re meeting up with the team
The next time I’m alone with my babe
It’ll probably be in a dream
I saved up my savings, bought my sweetheart a dress
I saved up my savings, bought my sweetheart a dress
She returned it to the store
Gave the money to a shelter out West
I cook her an omelette; she takes it to Sunday school
I invited her to go swimming; she brings her neighbors to my pool
When we go to Broadway she helps old ladies find their seat
She belongs to everyone but me.
A hurricane hit Texas, my babe went down to lend a hand
A hurricane hit Florida, my babe went down to lend a hand
She’s 1000 miles away and
I’m left with my head in the sand
I asked my babe to brunch she said she’d have to go and take a pass
I asked my babe to brunch she said she’d have to go and take a pass
She was going to Shakespeare in the Park
With her new friends from karate class.
I make reservations; she shows up an hour late
She answers 15 phone calls; still calls it a date
I took her to the mountain
She taught some poor orphans how to ski
She belongs to everyone but me
I can’t find my baby! I can’t find my dear
My babe works for the environment, as an unpaid volunteer.
I asked her what her favorite thing was
She said: “hmmm… Habitat for Humanity”
She belongs to everyone but me.
I can’t find my baby! I can’t find my dear
I can’t find my baby! I can’t find my dear
She belongs to everyone
She belongs to everyone
She belongs to everyone … but me
