Lyrics[]
Do, do, ah, ah
I said hey, you, what you doin'?
I think you could probably be my baby, baby
Hey, you, what you doin'?
I think you could probably be my baby, baby
I know that it's wrong, but no one can save me
He's a walk with the past, love of the fast
Girls in the fast lane, his knuckles are brass
A heart like a horse, love of the games
Gold in his veins
Met him at the club, singing my song
He says, "Are you famous?" – I was once
A b-movie actress has-been, but never was
He knows that it's love
He saw me on stage, pointed my way
The look of desire all on his face
I gave him the eye and took my place
I could tell that he'd be mine by daytime
Hey, you, what you doin’?
I think you could probably be my baby, baby
I can’t stop myself ‘cause I like them crazy
Hey, you, what you doin'?
I think you could probably be my baby, baby
I know that it's wrong, but no one can save me
He's a man with a cast, a cane and a glass
Rim full of champagne, looking for class
A mind like a steel cage, soul full of rage
Tactical nature so they call him insane
Met him at the club and from that night on
He called me his princess, right on
I'm his little ex-beauty queen
Never goin' back to where I been
Hey, you, what you doin'?
I think you could probably be my baby, baby
I can't stop myself 'cause I like them crazy
Hey, you, what you doin'?
I think you could probably be my baby, baby
I know that it's wrong, but no one can save me
No one can save me
Oh, do, do, woah
When did I ever care what they said about our love, my baby?
My baby boo, woo hoo
Yo, our friends think it's sad, living so bad
I'm always crying, he's always mad
Our life is a mess, oh, it's a shame
"What did they see in each other?", they say
I met him at the club, though, and that night on
Called me his princess, right on
I'm his little ex-beauty queen
Never going back to where I been
Hey, you, what you doin'?
I think you could probably be my baby, baby
I can't stop myself 'cause I like them crazy
Hey, you, what you doin'?
I think you could probably be my baby, baby
I know that it's wrong, but no one can save me
Hey, you, what you doin'?
I think you could probably be my baby, baby
I can't stop myself 'cause I like them crazy
Hey, you, what you doin'?
I think you could probably be my baby, baby
I know that it's wrong, but no one can save me
No one can save me
No one can save me
