lyrics

Baby Girl

Someday somebody’s gonna put you down.
Someday somebody’s gonna make you cry.
Someday somebody’s gonna jerk you around
…and maybe someday I
…won’t fall apart over a broken heart
still many moons away…
but today, oh Baby Girl, is not that day.

Someday somebody’s gonna hurt you bad.
Someday somebody’s gonna tell a lie.
Someday somebody’s gonna break what faith you had
…and maybe someday I
…won’t fall apart over a broken heart
still many moons away…
but today, oh Baby Girl, is not that day.

Someday we’ll sit together at a table
In a kitchen not yet known
And cup our hands around pottery not yet fired
Drinkin coffee not yet grown…
And we will throw back out heads, laugh, and reminisce
About stories yet to unfold,
And I will take your hand, say “Hey, girl, we made it.
When did we get so old?”
And that’s about the time when I can rest my mind
…knowing it all came out okay…
but today, oh Baby Girl, is not that day.

Someday somebody’s gonna do you wrong.
Someday somebody’s gonna say goodbye.
Someday somebody’s gonna spoil your favorite song
…and maybe someday I
…won’t fall apart over a broken heart
still many moons away…
but today, oh Baby Girl, is not that day.
No, today, oh Baby Girl, is not that day.
