Now I got a gal that’s different
I know I know she’s true
She’s never really happy until she’s got me blue
But I Know My Baby Loves Me 
In Her Own Peculiar Way
Yes my baby really loves me in Her Own Peculiar Way

Now I loaned her my apartment 
When I was out of town
When I got back I found that she had burned the building down
But I Know My Baby Loves Me 
In Her Own Peculiar Way
Yes my baby really loves me in Her Own Peculiar Way

Ah how about your baby Billy?
INSTRUMENTALS
Boy do you even have a baby?
INSTRUMENTALS

Now she took a course in cooking 
It filled my heart with glee
Till I detected poison in a cake she baked for me
But I Know My Baby Loves Me 
In Her Own Peculiar Way
Yes my baby really loves me in Her Own Peculiar Way

Now she went down to the corner
To catch a picture show
She said “I’ll see you later”… But that was twenty years ago
But I Know My Baby Loves Me 
In Her Own Peculiar Way
Yes my baby really loves me in Her Own Peculiar Way
