You ain't got no shoes to wear on your feet
Ain't got no diamonds to put you to sleep
Don't wear your misery around your neck
Don't flaunt your sorrow because it's well and check
Don't call me baby, baby
I can see the highlights in your hair
Don't call me baby, baby
I can see if your turn not to care
The water is rising, spilling over the top
It's flooding down in Texas, only time to the seams will pop
You can't control what your mother sees fit
Lie down your arms only hurts if you resist
Don't call me baby, baby
I can see the highlights in your hair
Don't call me baby, baby
I can see if your turn not to care
I see you putting your green plants in the light
I see you trying but the pain is out of sight
I wish I could say something was my fault
It's over now, you've finally been caught
Don't call me baby, baby
I can see the highlights in your hair
Don't call me baby, baby
I can see if your turn not to care
