Don Mclean - Where Were You Baby Solo Live Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Now, I peeked through fancy boudoirs, searched through window grates
But I only saw Republicans romancing southern states
And where were you, baby, when my heart went out?
You left me, baby, in all this darkness and doubt

[Verse 2]
Now, I tried to replace you with a streetwalker named Desire
But prices up so high, hell, I couldn't afford to try her
It takes you, my baby, to put my fire out
You left me, baby, in all this darkness and doubt

[Verse 3]
But tonight, I think I'm gonna take some good advice
I'm gonna look around, and find me somebody that's uh really nice
Well, perhaps a banker's daughtеr, and if her papa's a cuss
Well, I hope to do to hеr what her papa does to us

[Verse 4]
And we'll have a fancy shack and a fancy Cadillac
And she'll be studying to be a nymphomaniac
And we'll have a little rye, and we'll play a little gin
We'll, have another rye, and we'll play a little more gin

[Verse 5]
And then we'll have another rye just to get a little glow
Have another rye just to make the conversations flow
And then we'll have another rye, and we'll play a little gin
We'll have another rye, and we'll tune some music in
[Verse 6]
And then we'll have another gin, and we'll play a little rye
And we'll suddenly realize uh that we're gettin' kind of high
And so we'll turn the lights down low to keep the bulbs from gettin' hot
And we'll play a little game called, "Yes?" "No!" "Why not?"
But tonight, I think I'm gonna find me something swell
So, I can wake up in the morning miserable as hell

[Verse 7]
Now, when butter costs a dollar, bread costs more than cake
Come back soon cause, think what a gal like you could make
Yes, come back, baby, don't ever say that we're through
'Cause this time, woman, I'd like to walk right out on you
