Lyrics
Sit down, sit down
Mama, look at me
I got muscles
Charles, sit down and eat
[Instrumental]
Can't you see food can't fill this craving?
My need is much too deep
Mama, read to me
Read it yourself, Charles, I'm beat
Char'es Baby, youngest of five
The neighborhood baby, sweet as pecan pie
Not just your baby, our baby too
Such a big baby, what's wrong with you?
Kiss me, hug me, see me, love me
Kiss me, hug me, see me, love me
Kiss me, hug me, see me, love me
Kiss me, hug me, see me, love me
Child, give me some peace
Tell me you love me
You know it's true
I wanna hear it
Child, let me be
Can't you see I need to laugh 'til I cry, then be rocked to sleep?
To be kissed and held 'til our hearts beat in sync
That's all I want, that's all I need
I hurt from wanting intimacy
What's wrong with that?
What's wrong with me?
Kiss me, hug me, see me, love me
Kiss me, hug me, see me, love me
Kiss me, hug me, see me, love me
Kiss me, hug me, see me, love me
Intimacy
Alright, now go eat
Char'es Baby, youngest of five
The sweetest child, born out of time
Was I born too late or too soon?
Do I crave the womb, when we were one?
Do I want to go back in?
Why did I have to be born when love had spread itself thin?
