lyrics

Baby You Win
©Cliff Westfall 2018

CHORUS 1
Well I’m giving up, I’m giving in
I’m giving back this cracker jack advice that I got from a so-called friend
About standing up, ‘cause I’m down again
Yeah, I say baby baby baby baby you win

VERSE 1
Dear Abby I got this friend let’s call him ‘Bewildered Down in Baton Rouge’
Now he’s a prince so grand just a hell of a man but this woman’s trying to make him a stooge
And in the paper she wrote back ‘Dear Bewildered, Yeah, we both know who I’m talking to
But you can tell your “friend” that what I recommend is what he already plans to do
Have him repeat after me:’

CHORUS 2
Say I’m giving up, I’m giving in
I’m giving back this cracker jack advice that I got from a so-called friend
About standing up, ‘cause I’m down again
Yeah, I say baby baby baby baby you win

SOLO

Well out on the streets of the city today, saw this gorilla ‘bout 800 pounds
And nobody knew what she was gonna do but she was throwing her weight around
This dude, he said, ‘Fella hey that’s no gorilla
Yeah, that’s my woman and she’s looking for me’
And he climbed down off that barstool, he got down on one knee
And I heard him say:

CHORUS 3
He said I’m giving up, I’m giving in
I’m giving back this cracker jack advice that I got from a so-called friend
About standing up, ‘cause I’m down again
Yeah, I say baby baby baby baby you win
Yes I said baby baby baby baby you win

about

Cliff Westfall image

Cliff Westfall New York, New York

New York-based, Kentucky-bred country songwriter Cliff Westfall writes songs about heartache, loss, addiction – you know, funny songs. Or he can dive into a sentimental weeper.

He delivers them all with the wit that, for Westfall, is central to country music. His songs are bitingly acerbic, dependent on the twisty puns, bittersweet humor, and turns of phrase that used to define country music. ... more
