Now, my baby told me a long time ago
She said, "You're gonna miss me someday."
My baby told me a long time ago
She said, "You're gonna wish you had stayed."
It's been a long time, honey, and I'm gone still
I think about you some and I guess I always will
And if I'm losing, at least I'm moving
And it's easier to live with than standing still
She called me collect from a pay telephone
She said, "Who's gonna love you when you're old?"
My baby told me once I was gone
She said, "I've never known a man so cold."
Now, women say funny things sometimes
Especially when they're just about to lose their minds
If I could change it, knockin' on wood
Lord knows I'd box a forest full of trees down if I could
Someday baby, someday maybe
Maybe someday baby
I don't know, now, I don't know why babies cry
Why the wind blows
I don't know
But tonight I just might lose my mind
I don't know, now, I don't know why babies cry
Why the wind blows
I don't know
But you know tonight I just might lose my mind
My baby told me a long time ago
She said, "You're gonna miss me someday."
My baby told me a long time ago
She said, "You're gonna wish you had stayed."
Been a long time, honey, and I'm gone still
I think about you some and I guess I always will
Someday baby, (someday baby) someday maybe, (someday maybe)
Maybe someday baby
Someday baby, (someday baby) someday maybe, (someday maybe)
Maybe someday baby
Someday baby, (someday baby) someday maybe, (someday maybe)
Maybe someday baby
