Baby It Ain'T Me
Baby It Ain’t Me
Copyright July 8, 2009 Corinne Curcio
After a hard day at the office
And needing to unwind
I lay on the couch to watch TV
And ease my worried mind
Fell asleep with my love beside me
But imagine my surprise
I awoke with purple toenails
And mascara on my eyes!
“Sweetheart – you look sexy”
She said with girly-girl glee
“You may think I look nice” I shrieked
But Baby – it ain’t me!
I'm a sporty kinda gal, you see
I buy my clothes at Sears
Nothing fancy, you understand
But I was soon reduced to tears
My Hun-Bun decided to help me
Pulling blouses from the rack
With frills and lacy bows she launched
An all out fashion attack
Kumquat, you’ll look beautful
Try them on right now – you’ll see!
You may think they’re pretty, I whined
But Baby It Ain’t Me
You’re right - you're fine the way you are she cooed
Then kissed me on the mouth
I felt electricity from the top of my head
All the way down to the Deep South
I sighed a contented sigh
But then I started to squirm
Imagine my horror when I really awoke
With pink lipstick and a perm!
“Darling, you look fantastic
Surely you agree!”
“Will this nightmare ever end?” I moaned
Cause Baby It Ain’t Me!
It may be you
But Baby, it ain't me
