"Tell Me Baby"

They come from every state to find

Some dreams were meant to be declined

Tell the man what did you have in mind

What have you come to do?

No turning water into wine

No learning while you're in the line

I'll take you to the broken sign

You see these lights are blue

Come and get it, lost it at the city limit

Say goodbye 'cause they will find a way to trim it

Everybody looking for a silly gimmick

Gotta get away, can't take it for another minute

This town is made of many things

Just look at what the current brings

So high it's only promising

This place was made on you

Tell me baby, what's your story

Where you come from

And where you want to go this time, aw

Oh, tell me lover

Are you lonely?

The thing we need is never all that hard to find, aw

Tell me baby, what's your story

Where do you come from

And where you want to go this time, aw

Oh, you're so lovely

Are you lonely?

Or giving up on the innocence you left behind

Some claim to have the fortitude

Too shrewd to blow the interlude

Sustaining pain to set a mood

Step out to be renewed

I'll move you like a baritone

Jungle brothers on the microphone

Getting over with an undertone

It's time to turn to stone

Chitty chitty baby when your nose is in the nitty gritty

Life could be a little sweet

But life could be a little shitty

What a pity, Boston and a Kansas City

Lookin' for a hundred but you only ever found a fitty

Three fingers in the honeycomb

You ring just like a xylophone

Devoted to the chromosome

The day that you left home

Tell me baby, what's your story

Where you come from

And where you want to go this time, aw

Oh, tell me lover

Are you lonely?

The thing we need is never all that hard to find, aw

Tell me baby, what's your story

Where do you come from

And where you want to go this time, aw

Oh, you're so lovely

Are you lonely?

Or giving up on the innocence you left behind

Tell me baby, what's your story

Where you come from

And where you want to go this time, aw

Oh, tell me lover

Are you lonely?

The thing we need is never all that hard to find, aw

Tell me baby, what's your story

Where do you come from

And where you want to go this time, aw

Oh, you're so lovely

Are you lonely?

Or giving up on the innocence you left behind
