About She's My Baby

"She's My Baby" is a song credited to Paul and Linda McCartney that was first released by Wings on their 1976 album Wings at the Speed of Sound. It is a love song sung by Paul directed at Linda. Critical opinion of the song has ranged from a description as Paul McCartney's "sweetest, daftest love song" to a suggestion that it deserves an "honor for sheer awfulness." In 1998, after Linda's death, Paul McCartney rearranged the song for string quartet to be played at memorial concerts for his late wife. This version was included on the 1999 album Working Classical.

My baby, she comes out at night
She's takin' me by surprise, she's my baby
Like gravy, down to the last drop
I keep mopping her up, yeah yeah, she's my baby

She's a baby in the morning time
When the sleep is in her eyes
And the world is waking up
She has a rhythm
Oh believe me, I ain't lyin'
She's a woman

She's a lady in the evening time
When the stars are in the skies
That's the time she changes back into a kitten
Oh believe me, I ain't lyin'
She's my baby

And she comes out at night
She's takin' me by surprise, she's my baby
Like gravy, down to the last drop
I keep mopping her up, yeah yeah yeah, she's my baby

Well she's a baby in the morning time
When the sleep is in her eyes
And the world is waking up
She has a rhythm
Oh believe me, I ain't lyin'
She's a woman

She's a lady in the evening time
When the stars are in the skies
That's the time she changes back into a kitten
Oh believe me, I ain't lyin'
She's my baby

And she comes out at night
She's takin' me by surprise, yes, she's my baby
Ooh like gravy, yeah down to the last drop
I keep mopping it up, mopping it up, yeah, she's my baby

Ooh like gravy, down to the last drop
I keep mopping it up, mopping it up, yeah, she's my baby
Ooh like gravy, down to the last drop
I keep mopping it up, mopping it up, yeah, she's my baby
Ooh like gravy, down to the last drop
I keep mopping it up, mopping it up
