Baby Please Go - The Beautiful South

You’ve heard it said a thousand times

But only heard his Broadway lines

So, baby, please go

Ain’t, ain’t part of the show

'Cause when Romeo needs no cue or prompt

The likelier your little heart be stomped

By, by, baby, don’t go

Written, written into his show

'Cause in the West End show, your life

Played understudy to every part

Got given all the dullest lines

Whilst the chorus girls danced on your heart

Baby, please go

Baby, please go

Baby, please go

Baby, please go

The sorry tale we’d all applaud

That only dripped and never poured

But, baby just go (Ooh, ooh)

Let him, let him on with his show (Ooh, ooh)

The leading snail leaves tell tale lines

The bullshit tower the loudest chimes

But, baby please go (Ooh, ooh)

Ain’t, ain’t part of the show (Ooh, ooh)

'Cause in the West End show, your life

Played understudy to every part

Got given all the dullest lines

Whilst the chorus girls danced on your heart

Baby, please go

Baby, please go

Baby, please go

Baby, please go

Romantic love lines that we adored

Baby, forget them

They were read by men from idiot board

Baby, forget them

So a message from the wisest guy to broad

Is best like flattery ignored

Baby, just let him go

Let him on with the show

Baby, just let him go

Let him on with the show
