My Baby
Written by - Jerry Ragovoy & Mort Shuman
From - Pearl
And when I work hard all day long 
I tell you what, it don't bother me no how
'Cause how could anything ever go wrong 
When I got my baby, Lord, yes
When I got my baby, oh Lord! 

And when they tell me love is pain 
I said it might be true for you, honey
But not for Janis no more, no no no no 
All I've ever got to do is call my daddy's name 
Yeah and I got m-my baby, Lord, yeah
Yes I got my baby, good good God
Honey, I wanna tell you something that I do

Deep down, honey, in the dark of the night
When I lay my head down, I wanna go to sleep
And I know everything is gonna be alright
Yeah I got my baby, Lord yeah
'Cause I got my baby, oh yeah

And when I wanna call the names 
Or the things to be that wanna be to you
And when I wanna reach out my hand 
It always seems you hold me, dear
Love, don't you know how long I looked for you 
Daddy, daddy, daddy
Love, don't you know how hard I tried
But now I got my baby, Lord, yeah
Now I got my baby, yeah
