When you see me smile I'm smilin' for my baby When you hear me sigh I'm sighin' for my baby When I step out as sharp as a tack The girls whistle but I never whistle back 'Cause everything I do I do it for my baby And every time I dream I dream about my baby And every time I scheme I'm schemin' for my baby I know my baby, she's never hard to find Because she's always on my mind And everything I do So help me, I do it for my baby My baby, she's somethin' else Let me tell you, she's fine I'm glad I belong to her And she's mine all mine Everything I make I make it for my baby And every dime I take Oh I just take 'em for my baby Now when you see us strollin' down the avenue You just keep your eyes off you know who Cause everything I do, you know I do it for my baby When you see me walking alone I'm tryin' to make it to my baby When you hear me singin' a song I'm just singin' for my baby
