Woman you've been havin' your way, and you don't want to see me have mine
Woman you've been havin' your way, and you don't want to see me have mine
So there's no getting along, we're just two of the same old kind
I tried to make things happy, and your life I tried to let you enjoy
I tried to make things happy, and your life I tried to let you enjoy
But you tell me you you're your mother's baby girl,
do you realize I'm my mama's baby boy?
Around home you were just a spoiled one, and what you said, it had to be
Around home you were just a spoiled one, and what you said, it had to be
But do you know that the same old story, little girl, really goes for me
Since we are just two babies, darlin' why can't we agree?
Since we are just two babies, darlin' why can't we agree?
I'll talk baby talk to you, if you'll talk baby talk to me
