Baby Boy
Status Quo
RAOTW 1977
|Bm| |Bm| |Bm| |Bm|
When I wBmas a little baby boy
Just to sit and play would be my joy
Now I'm Aoh so big and I'm Bmoh so strong
How I wAish to be where I oBmnce belonged
When I wBmas an older baby boy
All the girls I wanted were my joy
I would drAink my wine, wouldn't mBmiss a night
How I wAish that someone had pBmut me right
When I wAas an oF#7lder bBmoy
When I wAas an oF#7lder bBmoy
When I wAas an oF#7lder bBmoy
When I was an older lady's toy
Thoughts of lust and wealth were now my joy
And the years gone by are so far behind
But the memories are still in my mind
When I was a lady's boy
When I was a lady's boy
When I was a lady's boy
When I was a little baby boy
Just to sit and play would be my joy
Now I'm oh so big and I'm oh so strong
How I wish to be where I once belonged
When I was a baby boy
When I was a baby boy
When I was a baby boy
|Bm| |Bm| |Bm| |Bm| etc.
