Janis Joplin - My Baby Lyrics






And when I work hard all day long
I tell you what, it don't bother me nohow,
'Cause how could anything ever go wrong
When I got my baby, Lord, yes,
When I got my baby, oh Lord!

And when they tell me love is pain
I said it might be true for you, honey,
But not for Janis no more, no no no no.
All I've ever got to do is call my daddy's name
Yeah and I got m-my baby, Lord, yeah,
Yes I got my baby, good good God,
Honey, I wanna tell you something that I do.

Deep down, h-honey, in the dark of the night,
When I lay my head down, I wanna go to sleep,
And I know everything is gonna be alright,
Yeah I got my baby, Lord yeah,
'Cause I got m-my baby, oh yeah.

And when I wanna call the names
Or the things to be that wanna be to you.
And when I wanna reach out my hand
It always seems you hold me, dear,
Love, don't you know how long I looked for you
Daddy, daddy, daddy.
Love, don't you know how hard I tried,
But now I got my baby, Lord, yeah,
Now I got my baby, yeah.

  8. p.... 4....

    Whenever I introduce someone to Janis I always play this song first. If they can handle this I say they'll dig her style. It's so powerful.

    I follow it up with One Night Stand and Little Girl Blue.

    p.... 4....

    Little girl blue, specially Toronto live version is my fave!

    p.... 4....

    Pocholo Batata

    Yes! The emotion she brought. She truly stripped that song down and made it her own. Just pure honestly. I've teared up many a time to even the studio version.

    Have you heard her 'I ain't got a worry' recorded when she was young? It's that same kind of naked emotion. Beautiful

    "My Baby" Lyrics

    And when I work hard all day long
    I tell you what, it don't bother me nohow,
    'Cause how could anything ever go wrong
    When I got my baby, Lord, yes,
    When I got my baby, oh Lord! 

    And when they tell me love is pain
    I said it might be true for you, honey,
    But not for Janis no more, no no no no.
    All I've ever got to do is call my daddy's name
    Yeah and I got m-my baby, Lord, yeah,
    Yes I got my baby, good good God,
    Honey, I wanna tell you something that I do. 

    Deep down, h-honey, in the dark of the night,
    When I lay my head down, I wanna go to sleep,
    And I know everything is gonna be alright,
    Yeah I got my baby, Lord yeah,
    'Cause I got m-my baby, oh yeah. 

    And when I wanna call the names
    Or the things to be that wanna be to you.
    And when I wanna reach out my hand
    It always seems you hold me, dear,
    Love, don't you know how long I looked for you
    Daddy, daddy, daddy.
    Love, don't you know how hard I tried,
    But now I got my baby, Lord, yeah,
    Now I got my baby, yeah.

    Kimberly Ortega thank you for posting the lyrics. Janis Joplin is up there with Maria Callas as one of the greatest most passionate singers of all time.

    K.... O....

    i always thought it was "all i've ever got to do is call out that mans name" :D

    K.... O....

    and "i wanna tell you i'm so glad i do"

    K.... O....

    and "Lord,don't you know how hard i've tried"....i wonder if this is a Mandela Effect.

  18. J.... C....

    Me emocionas, me alegras, me haces sentir tantas cosas! siempre vas a estar viva en mi corazón ♡

  19. M.... A....
