I knew this morning as soon as the phone rang That crazy woman had hurt you again That's why I told you come on over The coffee's warm and so are my arms That you fit so nicely in Poor sweet baby, poor sweet baby Did my baby spend another sleepless night? Poor sweet baby comes tomorrow Let mama love your pain away And make everything all right If she don't love you why don't she leave you And let a real woman light your fire You're too big a boy to go to bed hungry And the way that I need you I could feed you anything your heart desires Poor sweet baby, poor sweet baby Did my baby spend another sleepless night? Poor sweet baby comes tomorrow Let mama love your pain away And make everything all right Poor sweet baby
