ooh baby doll
you can have it some or you can have it all

from a house on a hill
i started running and i'm running still
mama said go be free
darling don't you make the same mistakes as me

ooh, baby doll
you can have it some or you can have it all

here's your life a to zed
you cannot fit so you bend instead
mama thinks deed is word
tells a story sings a song for ears that heard her

i will cut my apron strings
and you will live my hopeful dreams
we always get the things we need

ooh, baby doll
