Tar Baby - Sade

Grandma came to see

Something she could not believe

How could her girl be

So naive

Tar baby

Tar baby told the secret she conceived

Oh, that big old smile of yours

Could turn the wind into a song

How could I have doubted

Honey, it’s with me that you belong

Tar baby

Tar baby, I love you so

I love you

Like a brand new blade

You cut into my life

Cut through two decades

Like a hot coal on ice

Tar baby, my tar baby

It maybe was meant to be

When I look at you

I can’t believe my eyes

And with your magic

I think you just might charm the birds out of the skies

Tar baby, tar baby

Tar baby came good out of grief

A golden thread inside of the web

That I got caught in

Oh, it’s a lover’s revenge

But out of the pain come the best things

You cut into my life

You cut into my life (Baby, baby, baby, baby, don’t you know that)

You cut into my life (I love you)

You cut into my life

La la la la la ooh

You can turn the wind into a song

La la la la la, baby, baby, baby

It’s with me you belong
