I got a gal who's always late Any time we have a date But I love her Yes I love her I'm gonna walk right up to her gate And see if I can get it straight 'Cause I want her I'm gonna ask her Is you is or is you ain't my baby Way you're acting lately makes me doubt Youse is still my baby, baby Seems my flame in your heart's done gone out A woman is a creature that has always been strange Just when you're sure of what you'll find She's gone and made a change Is you is or is you ain't my baby Maybe baby's found somebody new Or is my baby still my baby true Is you is or is you ain't my baby Maybe baby's found somebody new Or is my baby still my baby true
