Baby Boy Lyrics

When I was a little baby boy
Just to sit and play would be my joy
Now I'm oh so big and I'm oh so strong
How I wish to be where I once belonged

When I was an older baby boy
All the girls I wanted were my joy
I would drink my wine, wouldn't miss a night
How I wish that someone had put me right
When I was an older boy
When I was an older boy
When I was an older boy

When I was an older lady's toy
Thoughts of lust and wealth were now my joy
And the years gone by are so far behind
But the memories are still in my mind
When I was a lady's boy
When I was a lady's boy
When I was a lady's boy

When I was a little baby boy
Just to sit and play would be my joy
Now I'm oh so big and I'm oh so strong
How I wish to be where I once belonged
When I was a baby boy
When I was a baby boy
When I was a baby boy

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
