Fruits of My Labor-Ruthie Foster

Baby, see how I been livin'. Velvet curtains on the windows too. Keep the bright and unforgiving Light from shining through. Baby, remember all the things that we did When we slept together And the blue behind your eyelids. Baby, sweet baby. Traced the scent through the gloom 'Til I found these purple flowers. I was spent, I was soon Smelling you for hours. Lavender, lotus, blossoms too, Why does the dirt And the flowers last for you, Baby, sweet baby? Tangerines and persimmons And sugar cane, Grapes of honeydew melon Enough fit for a queen. Lemon trees they don't make a sound 'Til the branches bend and fruit Falls to the ground, Baby, sweet baby. Instrumental verse. Come to my world and witness The way things have changed. 'Cause I finally did it baby I I got out of the grange. I got in my Mercury And drove out West Pedal to the metal, Put my luck to the test Baby, sweet baby. I've been trying to enjoy All the fruits of my labour. I've been crying for you boy, Oohhhh, but the truth is my savior. Baby, sweet baby, If it's all the same, Take the glory Any day over the fame. Baby, sweet baby.
