Must Be My Baby

[Verse 1]
Now, Frankie D. said he got it straight from Roger Miller
Life's just like taking candy from a gorilla
I started thinking, man, this ain't so tough
Hey, that's about the time that the monkey showed up

Sometimes I can't find my heart with both hands
You know I usually got my head stuck down in the sand
I start to feel like I can't even breathe
What's that little breath of fresh air blowing up my sleeve?

[Chorus]
Must be my baby, hey, hey, hey
She can make the Mississippi River run the other way
Must be my baby just in time
How she always know when I'm about to lose my mind?
Run the other way, Mississippi

[Verse 2]
Sometimes it feels like everything's a drag
Man, I could not smile my way out of a wet paper bag
It gets so dark that the clock stops ticking, man
Just like night and day was playing chicken

Yea, I'm riding on the boiler of a long, black train
Trying to find the brakes in a driving rain
I got smokestack lightning pouring out the funnel
What's that little light at the end of the tunnel?

[Chorus]
Must be my baby, hey, hey, hey
She can make the Mississippi River run the other way
Must be my baby just in time
How she always know when I'm about to lose my mind?
