when you see me smile
i’m smilin’ for my baby
when you hear me sigh
i’m sighin’ for my baby
when i step out as sharp as a tack
the girls whistle but i never whistle back
’cause everything i do
i do it for my baby
and every time i dream
i dream about my baby
and every time i scheme
i’m schemin’ for my baby
i know my baby she’s never hard to find
because she’s always on my mind
and everything i do
so help me i do it for my baby
my baby she’s somethin’ else
let me tell you she’s fine
i’m glad i belong to her
and she’s mine all mine
everything i make
i make it for my baby
and every dime i take
oh i just take ’em for my baby
now when you see us strollin’ down the avenue
you just keep your eyes off you know who
cause everything i do you know i do it for my baby
when you see me walking alone
i’m tryin’ to make it to my baby
when you hear me singin’ a song
i’m just singin’ for my baby
