Granma came to see

 

Something she could not believe

 

How could her girl be

 

So naive

 

Tar baby tar baby told

The secret she conceived

 

That big old smile of yours

 

Could turn the wind into a song

 

How could I have doubted

 

Honey it's with me the you belong

 

Tar baby tar baby

 

I love you so

 

I love you

 

I like a brand new blade

You cut into my life

 

Cut through two decades

Like a hot coal on ice

 

Tar baby my tar baby

 

It maybe was meant to be

When I look at you

I can't believe my eyes

And with your magic

 

I think you just might charm the birds out of the sky

 

Tar baby tar baby tar baby

 

Came good out of grief

 

A golden thread inside of the web

That I got caught in

 

Oh it's a lover's revenge but out of the pain

Come the best things

 

You cut into my life

 

You cut into my life

 

You cut into my life

 

You cut into my life

 

You can turn the wind into a song

 

Baby baby baby

 

It's with me you belong
