Lou Reed Lyrics

"Ooohhh Baby" lyrics



You're the kind of girl everybody warned me about
You're the kind of person, that everybody's just staring at
But now you are a topless dancer
Working out of a bar on Times Spuare
And everybody wishes you were back down in some corner
Only Baby know

You make me go ooohhh baby ooohhh baby ooohhh baby
Ooohhh, ooohhh, ooohhh
Ooohhh baby, ooohhh baby ooohhh baby
Ooohhh, ooohhh, ooohhh

Your old man was the best P and E man down on the streets
And all the guy in the precinct
Always was watching for him on the beat
But when he ripped off Seymour
He was really not a doing so fine
And everything is knots
Well except his hands and legs
And maybe even mime, you see
They just make them strip off
Lyrics
They say ooohhh baby, ooohhh ...

It's very funny asking me
Why they keep the lights on down so low
Well, yesterday's chase's today's competition
Or didn't you know
And the all fluorescent lighting
Make so your wrinkles, they don't show
And it's very funny
The way that 20 bucks an hour cannot go
If you don't make 'em go

Now, now, now, ooohhh baby, ooohhh ...

Everybody wondered 'bout you when you was seen in
Drinking some beer
You got here from Ohio and your mother said
You hooked her in the real near
That's the way it goes now

Ooohh baby, ooohhh ...
