Baker Baker Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Baker, baker baking a cake
Make me a day, make me whole again
And I wonder what’s in a day
What’s in your cake this time?

[Verse 2]
I guess you heard he’s gone to LA
He says that behind my eyes I’m hiding
And he tells me I pushed him away
That my heart's been hard to find

[Chorus]
Here, there must be something here
There must be something here, here

[Verse 3]
Baker, baker can you explain
If truly his heart was made of icing
And I wonder how mine could taste
Maybe we could change his mind

[Verse 4]
I know you’re late for your next parade
You came to make sure that I’m not running
Well I ran from him in all kinds of ways
Guess it was his turn this time

[Chorus]
Time, thought I’d made friends with time
Thought we’d be flying, maybe not this time

[Verse 5]
Baker, baker baking a cake
Make me a day, make me whole again
And I wonder if he’s okay
If you see him say, "Hi"

“Baker Baker is kind of tragic in a way, because – I’ve had to look at how I treated men, and on this record, I think with Baker Baker, to deal with a man that truly loved me, but that I wasn’t emotionally available for. You know how women always say men aren’t emotionally available. Well, a lot of women aren’t emotionally available. It’s like, if you’re vulnerable, we say, ‘Look, we need you to be sensitive.’ So you become sensitive, and yet we go, ‘You’ve got no f***in’ backbone,‘ and we kick you in the face and run off with a ski trainer.”
[Tori Amos, The Baltimore Sun, '94]
