Текст песни I Left My Baby - Count Basie & His Orchestra

'Ey!

"Are you goin' to the party on Saturday," she asked as if I didn't know.
See, ever since I saw you on the back of some guy's bicycle...
Well I've been feelin' kinda so-so.
So, girl don't act so surprised, got that look in your light-blue eyes, you can stop pretendin'.
Yeah, I been watchin' the movie all along, wonderin' if there was gonna be an ending
To the story, to the story, to the story--I guess I'll never know.
See, I was runnin' as fast as I could, sayin' the things I thought I should but it was just a little too slow.
Oh, Elizabeth, don't keep me guessin', I opened up the door and saw you undressin'. The words came out, one after another.
You shoulda been my high school lover.
Oh!
You shoulda been my Oh-ooo-woah.
You shoulda been my Oh-oh-oh.
You shoulda been my Oh-ooo-woah.
You shoulda been my Oh-oh.
"Did you get the letters that I sent last summer," you asked again and again.
Well they been pilin' up on the top shelf in my closet--Yeah, and I read them every now and then.
It's got me feelin' kinda stuck like "What the Fuck" is goin' on, someone tell me what is happening...
Yeah, you been actin' like you're too cool for far too long. It's OK it's just kind of embarassin'.
See, I been sneakin', I been sneakin', I been sneakin', wonderin' just what I'll see.
You turned around and stared, you squinted then you glared and I was leanin' back in the passenger seat.
Oh, Elizabeth, don't keep me guessin', I opened up the door and saw you undressin'. The words came out, one after another.
You shoulda been my high school lover.
Oh!
You shoulda been my Oh-ooo-woah.
You shoulda been my Oh-oh-oh.
You shoulda been my Oh-ooo-woah.
You shoulda been my Oh-oh.
High school lover
High school lover.
High school lover.
High school lover.
High school lover.
High school lover.
High school lover.
High school lover.
