Fruits of My Labor

Baby, see how I been livin' Velvet curtains on the windows too Keep the bright and unforgiving light from shining through Baby, remember all the things that we did, when we slept together And the blue behind your eyelid Baby, sweet baby Traced the scent through the gloom 'Til I found these purple flowers I was spent, I was soon smelling you for hours Lavender, lotus, blossoms too Why does the dirt, and the flowers last for you? Baby, sweet baby Tangerines and persimmons, and sugar cane Grapes of honeydew melon Enough fit for a queen Lemon trees, they don't make a sound 'Til the branches bend and fruit falls to the ground Baby, sweet baby Yeah, come to my world and witness the way things have changed 'Cause, I finally did it, baby I, I got out of the grange I got in my Mercury, and drove out West Pedal to the metal Put my luck to the test Baby, sweet baby I've been trying to enjoy all the fruits of my labour I've been crying for you boy Oh, but the truth is my savior Baby, sweet baby If it's all the same, take the glory, and day over the fame Baby, sweet baby
