Ooh but itâs great after beinâ out late
Walkinâ my baby back home
Arm in arm, over meadow and farm
Walkinâ my baby back home
We go along harmonizin' a song
Or Iâm recitinâ a poem
Guys go by, they give her the eye
Walkinâ my baby back home
We stop for a while, she gives me a smile
Then snuggles her head to my chest
We start into pet but thatâs when I get
Her powder all over my vest
That's when I kinda straighten my tie
She has to borrow my comb
One kiss then I continue again
Walkinâ my baby back home
Sheâs afraid of the dark so I have to park
Outside of her door till itâs light
She said, if I tried to kiss her sheâd cry
I dry her tears all through the night
Hand in hand to a barbecue stand
Right from her doorway we roam
Eat and then I continue again
Walkinâ my baby back home
Walkinâ my baby, talkinâ my baby
Walkinâ my baby back home
Walkinâ my baby back home
