She’s my Baby was released as a single in 1966. At least on its corresponding YouTube video, most of this song’s fame is due to Kanye West’s sampling of its abrasive bassline in Hell of a Life.
[Verse 1]
About a bad news baby
My bad news baby, she's always on my mind
She's nobody model but she's so doggone fine
Nerve of a lion, purr of a tame housecat
Smile of a lady, the worth of a poisoned rat
[Chorus]
She's my baby
She's my baby
My baby
[Verse 2]
We go alone to a downtown picture show
We have a good time 'til she sees somebody she knows
I get a little angry, a little upset
But she knows how to make me forget
[Chorus]
She's my baby
My baby
My baby
[Verse 3]
About a bad news baby
My bad news baby needs a smart oh baby jump
When she leaves me hangin' I know that I've been hung
She talks like my sister, walks like my brother
Looks like my father, but cooks like my mother
[Chorus]
She's my baby
My baby
My baby
[Outro]
That's the one 'bout the bad news baby
