got the mind of a child
and a body peeking over the hill
she would if she could and she should but nobody will
with her nails painted red
and her hair so naturally curled
and i think that she may be
the oldest baby in the world
she's tasted the night life
but has left her with nothing but hunger
the available men seem to think
something younger
but youth is a costume the beauty within lies unfurled
and i think that she maybe the oldest baby in the world
fast horses win races
royal flushes beat aces
and everyone's playing to keep
so let's turn out the lights
and rock that old baby to sleep
she loves the sound of the rain
she's afraid of the thunder
while she smiles on the outside
she's hurting deep under
and she thinks back to the time
when she was a much younger girl
and i think that she may be
the oldest baby in the world
yes i think that she may be
the oldest baby in the world
i think that she may be
the oldest baby in the world
