Baby’s Got It In the Genes Lyrics by Roman Candle

Says Pop

2002

When you see a roadside bar
Or an old button down with a cigarette scar
Think of me, babe, cause I’ll be thinking of you
It’s not that you’ll know where I’m at
I won’t be calling up your house or nothing like that
I’m an old man now, and thinking’s what I do
I took my car this morning, going to get some new socks
I saw a woman out watering her window box
A couple of kids, I thought could have been you and me
Something sparked up in my brain, to tell you the truth
I bought a box of raisins and a baby Ruth
And sat down on the curb
Twelve o’clock turned into three
I can’t explain your touch
By saying
“Baby’s got it in the genes.”
Well, girl that don’t amount too much, but it sells a lot of magazines
Living without you, well it ain’t so bad
I got a memory of you I didn’t know I had
And it’s rattling around, being called back out of the deep
I’ll be the first one to tell you not much can last
But I knew that full well before before you came and past
So why are you on my mind tonight when I’m trying to sleep?
Cause I can’t explain your touch by saying
“Baby’s got in in the genes.”
Well, girl that don’t account for much, but it sells a lot of magazines
So if you sit down heavy with your pen and your ink
Or you’re talking to yourself while you’re scrubbing the sink
Well then talk to me girl, cause that’s when I’m talking to you
