Millie

Lyrics

I've got a baby comin' April God, I don't know what I should do I guess I could let her Mama raise her Put her on a week retainer Leave her singin the No Daddy Blues But I won't be the one to leave her But the picture of her lover is in my mind I swear that I can hear her tiny whispers Making plans with their other mister N' leavin me a notice like a twenty five dollar fine CHORUS: Oh, my sweet Millie, can you hear me from the other room Singing just a bit off tune, like thunder? My sweet Millie, can you see me as the boy I am? Older but still no plans, like thunder What would you do if I just fake it? Pretend that everybody is feelin fine? Suppose I could leave a piece of anger on my shoulder Start yelling when she starts to smoulder Drag her back through just to make myself feel alright Does expectation tell the cheated that love is love And the heart should be willing to forgive the crime? Then chalk me up with the boys who just need attention Hopin for a hand they can see their death with The silly young ones who expect a better life CHORUS: Oh, my sweet Millie Can you hear me from the other room Singing just a bit off tune, like thunder My sweet Millie, do you see me as the boy I am Older, but still no plan, like thunder
