Couldn't tie my shoes
So I learned to love the fall
Blood stains and gap-tooth grins
Couldn't sing my blues
So I stole my time to talk
Shut up and listen here
Never needed no help
Until you came along
Babydoll
Never needed no help at all
Shook me up real good
Now I'm righting wrongs
Babydoll
Guess I needed it after all
Couldn't earn my meal
Took up dumpster diving
The rats and I we ate like kings
Couldn't play the field
So I swung for the fences
Never signed to either team
Never needed no help
Until you came along
Babydoll
Never needed no help at all
Shook me up real good
Now I'm righting wrongs
Babydoll
Guess I needed it after all
But you knew that
Yeah you knew that
Couldn't stitch my sail
So I sunk my boat
I left the gold for someone else
Couldn't walk through hell
So I applied for a job
I threw my fire at those ahead
Never needed no help
Until you came along
Babydoll
Never needed no help at all
Shook me up real good
Now I'm righting wrongs
Babydoll
Guess I needed it after all
