Lyrics

Love's a baby dat grows up wild,
 An' he don' do what you want him to;
 Love ain' nobody's angel child,
 An' he won' pay any mind to you.
 One man gives me his diamon' stud,
 An' I won' give him a cigarette.
 One man treats me like I was mud An' what I got dat man c'n get. Dat's love!
 Dat's love!
 Dat's love!
 Dat's love!
 You go for me an' I'm taboo,
 But if yore hard to get I go for you,
 An' if I do, den you are through, boy,
 My baby, dat's de end of you,
 De end of you!
 So take your cue, boy,
 Don' say I didn't tell you true.
 I tol' you true,
 I tol' you truly,
 If I love you dat's de end of you! You go for me an' I'm taboo,
 But if yore hard to get I go for you,
 An' if I do, den you are through, boy,
 My baby, dat's de end of you,
 De end of you! So take your cue, boy,
 Don' say I didn't tell you true.
 I tol' you true,
 I tol' you truly,
 If I love you dat's de end of you! When your lovebird decides to fly
 Dere ain' no door dat you c'n close.
 She jus' pecks you a quick good-bye
 An' flicks de salt from her tail, an' goes.
 If you listen, den you'll get taught,
 An' here's your lesson for today: If I chase you, den you'll get caught,
 But once I got you I go my way! Dat's love!
 Dat's love!
 Dat's love!
 Dat's love! You go for me an' I'm taboo,
 But if yore hard to get I go for you,
 An' if I do, den you are through, boy,
 My baby, dat's de end of you,
 De end of you!
 So take your cue, boy,
 Don' say I didn't tell you true.
 I tol' you true,
 I tol' you truly,
 If I love you dat's de end of you!
