Baby's Gone Shopping Lyrics - Jimmy Buffett

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 me to 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! 

Photos 

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...) 

Brrrrrr... (...here with me) 

Baby's gone shoppin', 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 

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...) 

She should be here with me (he should be here with me) 

She should be here with me (gone shoppin', he should be here!)
