WHEN MY BABY SINGS HIS SONG
(Carl Belew / W.S. Stevenson / Betty Jean Robinson)

Carl Belew & Betty Jean Robinson - 1971



 
BETTY:
When the sun goes down behind the mountain
To sleep until she wakes the dawn
I get the same ol' lonesome feelin'
'Cause that's when my baby sings his song

CARL:
What's he doin' in my world
What's he doin' holdin' my girl
If he's not more than just a friend
Why were you kissin' him
What's he doin' in my world

BETTY:
In his eyes I see the trace of sadness
That comes when memories hold on
And his ol' guitar sounds just like it's cryin'
When my baby sings his song

CARL:
You say you've found somebody new
But that won't stop my lovin' you
I just can't let you walk away
Am I that easy to forget

BETTY:
I make myself believe that he still loves me
Although to her he sings his songs
But as long as he returns to me at sundown
I'll listen while my baby sings his song

BOTH:
'Cause all I need is you
All I want is you
To give my lovin' to
All I need is you
All I need is you
