My baby don't have to work
And she don't have to rob and steal.
I said, my baby don't have to work
Man she don't have to rob and steal.
I give her everything she needs
Because I am her drivin' wheel.

Well she left me this morning
Said she'd be back soon.
Yeah, she left me this morning
Said she'd be back soon.
Said she'd back Friday morning
Or late Saturday afternoon.

You know I wrote my baby a letter,
And I don't want nobody to break the seal.
Oh I wrote my baby a letter,
I don't want nobody to break the seal.
I am, people, I am her drivin' wheel.

Now wait a minute, let me tell you 'bout my baby (yeah)
I said I want to tell you 'bout my baby (yeah)
Let me tell ya 'bout my baby
Every time she walks
She's like a leaf shakin' on a tree
Every time my baby walks
She's like a leaf shakin' on a tree.
I say come here to me baby,
This is where you get your steak, potatoes and tea.
