You Done Lost Your Baby
Lost Love's Stark Message
Lyrics
I came home last night about a quarter past four
I arrived home last night around a quarter past four.
Without a worry on my mind
I didn't have any worries on my mind.
I slowly slipped through the kitchen door
I quietly entered through the kitchen door.
I thought I was doing right fine
I believed I was doing well.
But when I sneaked into my room and started to slip into bed
Upon entering my room to go to bed,
I found a note pinned to the wall and this is what it said
I discovered a note on the wall with a message.
You done lost your baby, lost your baby
You have lost your partner, lost your partner,
Lost your baby, tonight
Lost your partner tonight.
You done lost your baby, honey
You have lost your partner, dear,
Baby, you just ain't been treatin' baby right
Baby, you haven't been treating your partner right.
You come home every night about a quarter past four
You return home every night around a quarter past four,
And then you think a sneakin' through the kitchen door
And you think you're sneaking through the kitchen door.
You done lost your baby, lost your baby
You have lost your partner, lost your partner,
Lost your baby, tonight
Lost your partner tonight.
Well, my knees started shakin' and my stomach was achin'
My knees started trembling, and my stomach ached,
And my head went into a spin
And my head began to spin.
I said this just couldn't happened to me
I thought this couldn't happen to me;
This must be a dream that I'm in
This must be a dream that I'm in.
So I stood there a shakin' for a minute or two
So I stood there shaking for a minute or two,
And then I sat down on the bed
And then I sat down on the bed.
But when I opened her note once more still it plainly read
But when I reread her note, it still clearly said,
You done lost your baby, lost your baby
You have lost your partner, lost your partner,
Lost your baby, tonight
Lost your partner tonight.
You done lost your baby, honey
You have lost your partner, dear,
Baby, you just ain't been treatin' baby right
Baby, you haven't been treating your partner right.
Well you trifled on your baby many times before
You fooled around on your partner many times before,
But you ain't gonna trifle on your baby no more
But you won't deceive your partner anymore.
You done lost your baby, lost my baby
You have lost your partner, lost my partner,
Lost your baby tonight, yeah
Lost your partner tonight, yeah.
