Tar Baby lyrics

Grandma came to see

Something she could not believe

How could her girl be

So naive?

Tar baby, tar baby

Told the secret she conceived

That big old smile of yours

Could turn the wind into a song

How could I have doubted?

Honey, it's with me that you belong

Tar baby, tar baby

I love you so

Like a brand new blade

You cut into my life

Cut through two decades

Like a hot coal on ice

Tar baby, my tar baby

It maybe was meant to be

When I look at you

I can't believe my eyes

And with your magic

I think you just might charm the birds out of the sky

Tar baby, tar baby, tar baby

Came good out of grief

A golden thread

Inside of the web

That I got caught in

Oh, it's a lover's revenge

But out of the pain

Come the best things, you see

You cut into my life (×2)

Baby, baby, baby, baby, don't you know that

You cut into my life

I love you

You cut into my life

You can turn the wind into a song

Baby, baby, baby

It's with me you belong
