Maybe Someday Baby - Delbert McClinton

My baby told me such a long time ago

She said, «You're gonna miss me someday»

Now, My baby told me such a long time ago

She said, «You're gonna wish you had stayed»

Been a long time, honey, and I’m gone still

I think about you some and I guess I always will

And if I’m losing, at least I’m moving

And it’s easier to live with than standing still

She called me collect from a pay telephone

She said, «Who's gonna love you when you’re old?»

Now my baby told me once I was gone

She said, «I've never known a man so cold»

Now, women say funny things sometimes

Especially when they’re just about to lose their minds

If I could change it, knockin’on wood

Lord knows I’d box a forest full of trees down if I could

Someday baby, someday maybe, maybe someday baby

Oh, I don’t know

Now, I don’t know why babies cry, why the wind blows

No, girl, I just don’t know

But tonight I just might lose my mind

I don’t know

I don’t know why babies cry, why the wind blows

No, honey, I don’t know

But tonight I just might lose my mind

My baby told me such a long time ago

She said, «You're gonna miss me someday»

My baby told me a long time ago

She said, «You're gonna wish you had stayed»

Been a long time, honey, and I’m gone still

I think about you some and I guess I always will

Someday baby, someday maybe, maybe someday baby

Someday baby, someday maybe, maybe someday baby

Someday baby, someday maybe, maybe someday baby
