(that baby doll) oooohh!!

(look out for her) ba-a-a-aby doll

(especially) hmmmmmm!!

(the amateur)



There's many a guy who'll sing you these blues

His dream was a lie, his heart's in his shoes

He wasn't so green, in ways he was smart

Till she hit the scene and she took him apart

He'll tell you as plain as day

"keep away from ba-a-a-a-a-a-aby doll"



(that baby doll)

(look out for her)



You'll see in her eyes the warning you should

You oughta be ooh-eyed, she'll lose you but good

As long as she's warm, the livin' is sweet

Then she'll raise a storm, you're back on the street

You might as well know, my friend, that's the end

You're cooked, you're through

(my friend, you're through)

(you're cooked, you're through)



She was my baby doll and she'll do the same to you



(that baby doll)

(look out for her)
