Addle-Pated Baby

I’m your addle-pated baby
I just go round and round
And if you go off without me
I just lie down on the ground
But I love you as much as I need you
So please don’t put me down
I’m your addle-pated baby
Happy just to follow you round
Did I tell you just how well you fill in what I lack?
When I’m in doubt you sort me out and cut me lots of slack
Doin’ the guidin’ when I can’t decide
When I’m goin’ in circles, slippin’, slidin’
Baby, you can get me back on track
I’m not demented, just content to let you lead the way
Goin’ when you go, stayin’ when you stay
You can take me for a walk
Talk to me in baby talk
Till it’s time to go outside and play
I’m your addle-pated baby
I just go round and round
And if you go off without me
I just lie down on the ground
But I love you as much as I need you
So please don’t put me down
I’m your addle-pated baby
Happy just to follow you round
I’m not demented, just content to let you lead the way
Goin’ when you go, stayin’ when you stay
You can call me smarty-pants
When I do my outside dance
Then it’s time to go inside and play
I’m your addle-pated baby
I just go round and round
And if you go off without me
I just lie down on the ground
But I love you as much as I need you
So please don’t put me down
I’m your addle-pated baby
Happy just to follow you round
