Bruce Springsteen - Baby Doll lyrics

Oh Baby Doll They tried to tell me you were deaf and dumb But I knew they were wrong You're just a silent one Oh Baby Doll They tried to tell me you could not feel But I found out they tried to conceal From you, that you were a woman Well they brought you into their laboratory And tried to get you to show and tell They wanted to hear you say that you were sorry And then they told you that you were conceived in hell But Baby Doll, you knew You knew that wasn't true You knew that it was them It wasn't you Oh baby doll It was so hard to know you I could not tell, I couldn't show you But I didn't have to, 'cause you already knew Oh baby doll They had to see by touching hands We had to dance to a silent band And you surprised me, being so graceful I know you can't hear these songs I sing But then they're more for me than they are for you Because you don't need these songs, babe, like I do Yeah, you knew the first time that I held you babe You didn't have to hear how I love Oh baby doll They tried to tell me you were deaf and dumb But I knew that they were wrong And you were just the lonely one
