Granma came to see
|
Something she could not believe
|
How could her girl be
|
So naive
|
Tar baby, tar baby told
|
The secret she conceived
|
|
That big old smile of yours
|
Could turn the wind into a song
|
How could I have doubted
|
Honey it's with me you belong
|
|
Tar baby, tar baby
|
I love you so
|
|
Like a brand new blade
|
You cut into my life
|
Cut through two decades
|
Like a hot coal on ice
|
|
Tar baby, my tar baby
|
It maybe was meant to be
|
When I look at you
|
I can't believe my eyes
|
|
And with your magic
|
I think you just might charm the birds out of the sky
|
|
Tar baby, tar baby, tar baby
|
Came good out of grief
|
|
A golden thread inside of the web
|
That I got caught in
|
Oh, it's a lover's revenge, but out of the pain
|
Come the best things you see
|
|
You cut into my life
|
You cut into my life (baby baby baby baby don't you know that)
|
You cut into my life (I love you)
|
You cut into my life
|
|
La la la la la ooh
|
You can turn the wind into a song
|
La la la la la baby baby baby
|
It's with me you belong
|
