Baby You've Got To Go

Kurtis Blow

I know your last man did you wrong



And I know you and your mama don't quite get along



And I know you'd help with the bills if you could



And I know that your intentions are basically good



But there's one more thing that I definitely know




It's baby you've got to go




And I'm sure you'd cook if you knew how to use a pot



And I'm sure you'd clean if the soaps weren't so hot



And I'm sure you'd mop the floors if you weren't afraid of hot water



And I'm sure you do the laundry if you only had a quarter



And I'm sure that I wish that it just wasn't so




But baby,you've got to go




And I know that you want a career in high fashion



'Cause when you buy your clothes you do it with passion



Well that's chilly by me,you do what you will



But when you're finished,don't send me the bill



'Cause Halston and Jordache got enough of my dough




So baby,you've got to go




I'm sure you've got problems I can't understand



And I'm sure it's because I'm only a man



And I'm sure if I had an astounding I.Q.



I could solve all the problems that happen to you



But I ain't no genius,I just take it slow




So baby,you've got to go




Now I know you're worried about what Erica will do tomorrow



But that won't help pay back the money you borrow



And I know that each person must be someplace my dear



But I really don't know why you must be here



So this is the day for your last tale of woe




'Cause baby,you've got to go
