Oh Baby Doll   They tried to tell me you were deaf and dumb   But I knew they were wrong   You're just a silent one      Oh Baby Doll   They tried to tell me you could not feel   But I found out they tried to conceal   From you, that you were a woman      Well they brought you into their laboratory   And tried to get you to show and tell   They wanted to hear you say that you were sorry   And then they told you that you were conceived in hell      But Baby Doll, you knew   you knew that wasn't true   you knew that it was them   it wasn't you      Oh baby doll   It was so hard to know you   I could not tell, I couldn't show you   But I didn't have to, 'cause you already knew      Oh baby doll   They had to see by touching hands   We had to dance to a silent band   and you surprised me, being so graceful      I know you can't hear these songs I sing   But then they're more for me than they are for you   Because you don't need these songs, babe, like I do   Yeah, you knew the first time that I held you babe   You didn't have to hear how I love      Oh baby doll   They tried to tell me you were deaf and dumb   But I knew that they were wrong   And you were just the lonely one
