ooh baby doll

you can have it some or you can have it all

from a house on a hill

i started running and i'm running still

mama said go be free

darling don't you make the same mistakes as me

ooh, baby doll

you can have it some or you can have it all

here's your life a to zed

you cannot fit so you bend instead

mama thinks deed is word

tells a story sings a song for ears that heard her

i will cut my apron strings

and you will live my hopeful dreams

we always get the things we need

ooh, baby doll
