Baby Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Baby's havin' such fun
Baby thinks he's the one
The one and only exception
But he'll go down like the rest of them

[Chorus]
April comes for one more May
The floor is swept, the clothes are put away
And that's a day


[Verse 2]
Have you heard the news?
Baby had to choose
Now he's on the wall
Can you make a judgement call?


[Chorus]
April comes for one more May
The floor is swept, the clothes are put away
And that's a day


[Outro]
And that's a day
