Baby's gone shopping By: jimmy buffett 1988 There are ten pictures of marilyn monroe in my studio and i always fantasize while i'm singing about being a chauffeur in the car as marilyn hits the stores on madison avenue and then she asks m Go to mexico with her. Baby's gone shoppin' she's looking around She's checkin' out the clothes on the boys in town Pick up this drop off that Stares at her pictures from the fotomat Oh she likes what she sees But she's afraid of what she needs She should be here with me She should be here with me But i don't make it easy, i'm no day at the beach Just an old road dog gettin' harder to teach Hang on this planet, hang on each twirl Scatter my belongin's all over this world I get more wrapped up each day She's lookin' further away She should be here with me She should be here with me (horn solo) I'm no good at conversation (no good) I don't want a proclamation (oh, no, no) I just think that we could use A little face-to-face communication Ow! I've been thinkin', thinkin' this through It's time to stop all this selfishness both me and you I'll stop from here, you stop from there We'll meet somewhere in the middle darlin' i don't care
I don't want no more heartaches it's time to put on the brakes She should be here with me I don't want no more heartaches it's time to slam on 'em brakes She should be here with me Baby's gone shoppin', she should be here with me No more bar hoppin', she should be here with me Now, i don't know but i've been told That city livin' is awfully cold She should be right here, here with me (he should be...)

(...here with me) No more bar, no more bar, no more bar hoppin' Should be here with me (he should be here with me) She should be here with me She should be here with me (he should be...) (...here with me) No more bar, no more bar, no more bar hoppin' Should be here with me (he should be here with me) She should be here with me (gone shoppin') Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-baby's gone shoppin' (gone shoppin') Coda: She should be here with me She should be here with me (gone shoppin', he should be...)
