Doo, doo, doo, doo Doo, doo, doo, doo We had a quarrel A teenage quarrel Now I'm as blue as I know how to be I can't call you on the phone I can't even see you at your home So I'm sending you this present Just to prove that I'm telling the truth Dear, I believe you won't laugh when you receive This rose and a Baby Ruth (Doo, doo, doo, doo) (Doo, doo, doo, doo) (Doo, doo, doo, doo, ahh) I could have sent you an orchid of some kind But that's all I had in my jeans at the time But when we grow up Some day I'll show up Just to prove I was telling the truth I'll kiss you, too, then I'll hand to you This rose and a Baby Ruth (Doo, doo, doo, doo) (Doo, doo, doo, doo) (Doo, doo, doo, doo, ooh) Transcribed by Robin Hood These lyrics were transcribed from the specific recording mentioned above and do not necessarily correspond with lyrics from other recordings, sheet music, songbooks or lyrics printed on album jackets.
