Tar Baby

Granma came to see 
Something she could not believe 
How could her girl be 
So naive 
Tar baby, tar baby told 
The secret she conceived 
 
That big old smile of yours 
Could turn the wind into a song 
How could I have doubted 
Honey it's with me you belong 
 
Tar baby, tar baby 
I love you so 
 
Like a brand new blade 
You cut into my life 
Cut through two decades 
Like a hot coal on ice 
 
Tar baby, my tar baby 
It maybe was meant to be 
When I look at you 
I can't believe my eyes 
 
And with your magic 
I think you just might charm the birds out of the sky 
 
Tar baby, tar baby, tar baby 
Came good out of grief 
 
A golden thread inside of the web 
That I got caught in 
Oh, it's a lover's revenge, but out of the pain 
Come the best things you see 
 
You cut into my life 
You cut into my life (baby baby baby baby don't you know that) 
You cut into my life (I love you) 
You cut into my life 
 
La la la la la ooh 
You can turn the wind into a song 
La la la la la baby baby baby 
It's with me you belong
