When My Baby Comes Thank God we don't get all our hurts at once That would be a really bad thing When my baby comes Thank God we don't get all our olds at one time (Listen to me talking in my hospital gown!) When my baby comes Best thing about this place are the showers Worst thing is the visiting hours (Hey, careful of the carpet!) When my baby comes They had pistols and they had guns They threw me on the ground as they entered into me (I was only fifteen!) When my baby comes Just how long you gonna be, my baby? Until you come? She got hands as white as milk And weaves a web of spider's silk that glistens When my baby comes There is an ancient question behind her eyes That I can't even begin to describe (Hey, don't do that on the carpet!) When my baby comes Is there anyone out there wasted their lives? On booze drugs husbands wives and making money? When my baby comes They had pistols and they had guns My skirt above my head I was so much older When I crawled out from their mushroom cloud When my baby comes Just how long you gonna be, my baby? Until you come? When she come? When she come?
