I Can't Wait Until I See My Baby's Face
Baby Washington Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't wait until
I see my, my baby's face
When I tell him that I'm through
Oh, I'm through with him

Now he's been running around
I got to put him down
I can't wait to see the look
The look in his eyes

I wonder if he'll cry
When I tell him it's goodbye
Or will he try to change my mind
And make me stay

Or will he turn around
And with a smile on his face
Just walk away (walk away)
Walk away (walk away)

I can't wait until
I see my, my baby's face
Gotta find out what I feel
Oh, what I mean to him

Now, just one tear is all
He's got to she'd for me
And I know that I will run
Yes, I will

I'll run to him
And hold him tight
And never, never let him go

And I can't wait until
I see my, my baby's face
I can't wait until
I see my, my baby's face

My, my, my




I can't wait until
I see my, my baby's face

I can't wait until
I am eagerly waiting for the moment when

I can't wait until I see my, my baby's face
When I tell him that I'm through
Yes, I'm through with him
Because he's been running round
And I got to, to put him down
I can't wait to see the look
The look in his eyes
I wonder if he'll cry
When I tell him this is goodbye, yes it is
Or will he try to change my mind
And make me stay? Yeah
Or will he turn around
And, with a smile on his face
Just walk away?
Just walk away
I can't wait until I see my, my baby's face
Got to find out what I mean
What I mean to him
Because just one tear is all he's got to, to shed for me
And I know that l will run, yes I'll run to him
I'll hold him tight
Never, never let him go, no-o-o

And I can't wait until I see my, my baby's face

You know, I just can't wait until I see my, my baby's face
I can't wait until I

Loved Dusty's version of this song. Dusty was a big fan of Baby Washington. I can see why. She had a great voice and style. Sung with so much soul and passion. Plus, nice range.

For such a relatively obscure song it has been covered by a surprising number of respected singers.

Anthony Robinson

Maybe the most amazing female soul voice I have ever heard,

Vimto Crazy

Up there on a different level .Fantastico .

I think so too. So well rounded and rich ☺

Lori Romano

Baby is great. Love the powerful and rich vocal. Dusty's version is also great.
Dusty's delivery is controlled and sophisticated.

Richard Trepsas

Dusty’s version has almost exactly the same arrangement I think with flutes in the beginning!

MrSoulSimon

I agree.

boomerang905

I could only compare others to Baby. This woman set the Standards as far as l am concerned. I used to like her little cha cha steps when she sang.

@57dogsbody Amen. I always do get a dose of one of the best songs ever ☺
