Dinah Washington - My Lean Baby lyrics

My lean baby's tall and thin Five feet seven of bones and skin But when he tells me maybe He loves me I feel as whirly as a girly can be He's so skinny He's so drawn When he stands sideways you think he's gone But when he calls me baby I feel fine To think he's frantically romantically mine He's slender but he's tender Makes my heart surrender And every night when I hold him tight The feelings is nice my arms can go around twice My lean baby He's so slim A broom sticks wider compared to him But when he starts to kiss me then I know I love him so I'll never ever let him go I chased him and I caught him A diamond ring I bought him Now the diamond shines the ring is fine But here's the twist he wears it round his wrist My lean baby strange to see But all his lovin belongs to me And when he starts to kiss me Then I know I love him so I'll never ever let him go Yes I love him and I'll never let him go
