lyrics

My baby says she’s gonna be a pornstar
Oh she’s gonna make her dreams come true
She called to tell me on
New Year’s Eve saying, “Baby I love you,
and I want you with me always
and forever by my side,
but I can’t keep getting older,
sitting her wondering why I never
tried doing the only thing I think I’m good at
while I’m alive.”

My baby said she’s gonna be a pornstar.
Lord what was I to do?
She was hangin’ on the line for a reply
so I said, “My love, I love you too.
Baby I don’t own you.
You’re free to go and choose
any life you like.
My heart’s still yours, you know it's true.
The only thing that makes me happy girl is your happiness,
so go be alive.”

Baby said she’s gonna be a pornstar,
and who am I to say
what she does with her own damn body?
Sex and love, they were never the same thing.
See I lost some lovers
when my jealous mind took hold,
and I’m here to tell you brother,
I ain’t ever gonna go back down that road again.

I’ve been alive long enough to know
that a woman’s love is all about the soul,
so I guess I’m fine if her heart is mine
and her sweet behind is doing 9:00 to 5:00 while I’m home.

Yes I’ve been alive long enough to know
that a woman’s love is all about the soul,
so I guess I’m fine if her heart is mine
and her sweet behind is doing 9:00 to 5:00 while I’m home.

Yes I guess I’m fine if her heart is mine
and her sweet behind is doing 9:00 to 5:00 while I’m home.
Yes I guess I’m fine if her heart is mine
and her sweet behind is getting 69-ed while I’m home.
