tryin' to love me and another man too,
I'm worried about that baby, baby worried about you,
Baby worried about you baby,
and you better be worried about me.
I'm gonna tell you this time, I ain't gonna say no mo',
the next time I tell ya I'm gonna let you go
Baby worried about you baby,
and you better be worried bout me.
Run here baby, sit on my knee,
I got something to tell you been worrying me,
I'm worried about you, baby worried about you,
Baby worried about you baby,
and you better be worried about me.
Got up this morning, feeling bad, nobody know how much trouble I've had,
I'm worried about you, baby worried about you,
Baby worried about you baby,
and you better be worried about me.
