So many ladies love you with the innocence of a child   A child who believes in God   You keep 'em in luxury   But it's a luxury in the dark      You walk around with a smile upon your face   But there's something that you don't know   You're luck's run out   And it's a time for you to know      Everybody told me I was crazy   To try to tame such a wild one   Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby      I got myself into this thing   Like I never knew I could an' now   I gotta get away just as fast as I can   I got myself into this thing an' I'll find a way out      You gave me babies, to you that proves your love   Tie my hands with jewels   Barefoot an' pregnant you kept me   You sought to hide me from the truth      But your lady's done bought some shoes   And she's steppin' out on the town   Your lady took herself in hand   And she's spreadin' herself around, alright      I wanted your love but not at any price   You're just the hurtin' kind   Say you want me for yourself   But your deeds deny it      Everybody told me I was crazy   To try to tame such a wild one   Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby      I got myself into this thing   Like I never knew I could an' now   I gotta get away just as fast as I can   I got myself into this thing an' I'll find a way out
