[Chorus]
Baby, you, huh
You've come a long way, just look at you, huh
Baby, you
You've come a long way
[Verse 1]
From those bags of little two penny candy
To that ten cent ribbon in your hair, baby
From those braces that you wore on your teeth, baby
To those cheap red dresses you used to wear
[Chorus]
You've come a long way, ha-ha!
Girl, you've come a long way
[Verse 2]
Baby, I never would have known you
Baby, I never would have known you
If I remember right, you used to wear glasses
And what happened to that mole under your eye?
Remеmber in school I tease you about it, baby, huh
And you'd brеak down in class and you'd cry
[Chorus]
You've come a long way
I ain't lyin', baby
You've come a long way, girl, hoo-hoo!
[Interlude]
Remember this, baby?
Listen
[Verse 3]
Remember that time I caught you comin' from the store, baby?
I kissed you and your groceries fell on the ground
You went home and told my daddy on me, baby
Didn't you, heh-heh
And he beat me so I couldn't sit down-down-down-down
I was sore for two weeks, he-he
That's alright, that kiss was worth it all
[Verse 4]
Baby, what
What-what-what-what-what-what, what's that on your finger?
No it ain't, hmm-hmm
Baby, what
What-what-what-what-what-what, what's that on your finger?
Yes it is, hm
You don't mean to tell me that you are married
What I mean to say I guess is "Goodbye"
But you can tell your husband for me
I think he is a real lucky guy
[Chorus]
You've come a long way
[Verse 5]
I remember you used to be a little old boney
Huggin' that thing, heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh!
Lord, have mercy
Now you done got up here and got fine
And got you a little husband and everything
How you feel, a-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh!
Oh, ha
[Outro]
Yeah mama, can't do nothin' with you now
Ha-ha-ha-ha, walk-walk-walk walk-walk-walk-walk
Baby, ha-ha!
Man, they gonna put it in
