Baby, baby, baby
Let me lay it out to you
I don't know where you're going
But I know what you've been through
A little wishing
Or just an apparition, baby
Baby, baby, baby
This is my lover's plea to you
Honey, honey, honey
Being left out in the cold
You know nothing turns to silver
Nothing ever turns to gold
It's been a while
For you I'd walk that extra mile
But baby, baby, baby
My lover's plea to you
This is my lover's plea to you
This is my lover's plea to you
Bitter wind is blowing
And winter is getting close
It's me that wants to keep you warm
But I'm not the one you chose
It seems too tough
Yeah and things, you know, can get little rough
Baby, baby, baby
My lover's plea to you
I wonder how you're feeling now
I leave it up to you
This seems such a problem, baby
Let me help you see it through
Yes it seems so cheap
Ooh, it's enough to make a grown man weep
But baby, baby, baby
My lover's plea to you
This is my lover's plea to you - plea
This is my lover's plea to you - my plea
This is my lover's plea to you - to you
TrackTalk
Ivan Neville, Keith and I cut Lover's Plea,
our tribute to Otis Redding and the Stax legacy, and we brought in
(Stax legend) David Porter for a co-write, and to finish up the lyric.
Ivan played the Wurlitzer and Keith overdubbed the bass.
