SHE'S EVERYBODY'S BABY BUT MINE
(Steven Fromholz)

Steven Fromholz - 1978


She's everybody's baby but mine
Only wish she'd take her loves on one at a time
If you ask me why I am cryin'
She's everybody's baby but mine

I recall the day she left
Saw her off all by myself
By myself I watched her fly away
Now she runs with the retinues
Of gay young men and ingenues
I read about her in the Dallas Morning News today

She's everybody's baby but mine
Only wish she'd take her loves on one at a time
If you ask me why I am cryin'
She's everybody's baby but mine

She can sing like a mockingbird
Sweetest songs you ever heard
Waitin' on her every word were we
Now she sings on the concert stage
From coast to coast, she's the latest rage
Never seemed to find the time for me

She's everybody's eaby but mine
Only wish she'd take her loves on one at a time
If you ask me why I am cryin'
She's everybody's baby but mine

Now and then she'll come back home
Usually when she's feelin' lonely
Calls me on the phone to hold her hand
We go walkin' on a summer's evening
Try to talk, she ends up leaving
For Hollywood - back to her promised land

She's everybody's baby but mine
Only wish she'd take her loves on one at a time
If you ask me why I am cryin'
She's everybody's baby
She's everybody's baby
She's everybody's baby but mine
Everybody's baby but mine
