Ooh but it's great after bein' out late Walkin' my baby back home Arm in arm, over meadow and farm Walkin' my baby back home We go along harmonizin' a song Or I'm recitin' a poem Guys go by, they give her the eye Walkin' my baby back home We stop for a while, she gives me a smile Then snuggles her head to my chest We start into pet but that's when I get Her powder all over my vest That's when I kinda straighten my tie She has to borrow my comb One kiss then I continue again Walkin' my baby back home She's afraid of the dark so I have to park Outside of her door till it's light She said, if I tried to kiss her she'd cry I dry her tears all through the night Hand in hand to a barbecue stand Right from her doorway we roam Eat and then I continue again Walkin' my baby back home Walkin' my baby, talkin' my baby Walkin' my baby back home Walkin' my baby back home
