Lyrics Learn Baby - Dinah Washington

My lean baby's tall and thin (you are)
Five feet seven of bone and skin
But when he tells me maybe, he loves me (you are)
I feel he's whirly as a girly can be

He's so skinny, he's so drawn (you are)
When he stands sideways, you'll think he's gone
But when he calls me baby, I feel fine (you are)
To think he's frantically romantically mine

He's slender, but he's tender
He makes my heart surrender
And every night when I hold him tight
The feeling is nice, my arms can go 'round twice

My lean baby, he's so slim
A broom sticks' wider compared to him
But when he starts to kiss me then I know
I love him, so I'll never ever let him go

(My lean baby's tall and thin)
(Five feet seven of bones and skin)
But when he tells me maybe, he loves me
I feel he's whirly as a girly can be

(He's so skinny, he's so drawn)
(When he stands sideways, you'll think he's gone)
But when he calls me baby, I feel fine
To think he's frantically and romantically mine

He's slender, but he's tender
He makes my heart surrender
And every night when I hold him tight (ooh-ooh)
The feeling is nice, my arms can go around twice

(My lean baby, he's so slim)
(A broom sticks wider, but not his dream)
But when he starts to kiss me then I know
I love him, so I'll never ever let him go

Yes, I love him
I'll never let him go
