From the recording Bungalows and Broken Hearts

Lyrics

I saw my baby’s face, and I don’t know what to do.
Yes, I saw my baby’s face, and I don’t know what to do.
She was trying to smile, but her lip was busted and blue.

I cried just like a child when I saw that busted lip.
Yes, I cried just like a child when I saw that busted lip.
You know I love my baby. I swear she just must’ve slipped.

I said, “Baby stay at home. You know what the neighbors’ll say.
My sweet baby, please stay at home. You know what the neighbors’ll say.”
She said, “I got to go. Nobody cares anyway.”

If you see a girl with a busted lip that’s on the mend.
Yes, if you see a girl with a bruised and busted lip that’s on the mend.
Tell her to come back home. I’ll never see her hurt again.
