I've got a gal that's always late
Every time we have a date
But I want her
'Cause I love her

I'm gonna walk right up to that gate
See if I can get it straight
'Cause I need her
I've got to ask her

Is you is or is you ain't my baby
The way you acting lately makes me doubt
You is still my baby, baby
Maybe my flame in your heart done gone out

A woman, she's a creature that has always been strange
Just when you're sure of one
You'll find she's gone and made a change

Is you is or is you ain't my baby
Maybe baby's found somebody new
Or is my baby still my baby true

A woman, she's a creature that has always been strange
Just when you're sure of one
You'll find she's gone and made a change

Is you is or is you ain't my baby
Maybe baby's found somebody new
Or is my baby still my baby true
