Put That Baby Down

from Slugger by Dave Keener

/

lyrics

I miss your pretty face
Because you’ve always got it placed against some grindstone
I miss your pretty eyes, they’re always on the prize and it ain’t me
Your kisses really send me, but lately they just send me to the hardware store
Please look at your to-do list, do you have a line running through me?

Put that baby down, tell me that you love me
I want to hear it again

If I want to see you, all I have to do is run home early
If I want to hold you, all I have to do is wait my turn
If I want you to hear me, all I have to do is punch the radio
If I want you to love me, that’s something I can’t do alone

Put that baby down, tell me that you love me
I want to hear it again

I want to hear it on the hour
I want to hear it all the time
I’m a beautiful flower
I need a whole lotta sunshine
I want to hear it in 8-track
In perpetual playback
I want to hear it [again X9]

You don’t want to hear it, but sometimes I feel like I just work here
I don’t want to say it, but I don’t want to work here anymore
If you’d hug me like you mean it, that would go an awful long way right now
If Bowie rings the doorbell, you just better leave ‘em waiting at the door

Put that baby down, tell me that you love me
I want to hear it [again x9]

I want to hear it on the hour
I want to hear it all the time
I’m a beautiful flower
I need a whole lotta sunshine
I want to hear it in 8-track
In perpetual playback
I want to hear it [again X9]
