Business With My Baby Tonight
by Martin / Rubin 
recording of 1988 
from 
King of Blues: 1989 (MCA MCAD-42183) 
My woman's been accusing me 
Of stepping out 
Jealous rumors have her mind filled 
With so much doubt 
And I've gotta convince her 
I'm not doing her wrong 
Before she leaves me 
Sad and all alone 
So when the clock hits five 
I'll be gone 
There's a matter 
That I'm gonna settle later on 
So if the boss man talks 
About overtime 
I'm just gonna smile 
and pay him no mind 
I've got business with my baby tonight 
We're gonna talk things over 
And make things right 
'Cause I couldn't sleep at all 
Since we had our fight 
I've got business with my baby tonight 
We'll go out to dinner 
At our favorite restaurant 
I'll hold her hand 
And tell her she's all I'll ever want 
When we get home 
I'll take her straight to paradise 
And we'll still be loving 
Till the morning light 
I've got business with my baby tonight 
We're gonna talk things over 
And make things right 
'Cause I couldn't sleep at all 
Since we had our fight 
I've got business with my baby tonight 
Now don't you start talking 
About gossip or news 
I'm warning you now 
I'll put on my walking shoes 
'Cause to me nothing in this world 
Is a big deal 
When it's compared to the way 
She makes me feel, all right 
I've got business with my baby tonight 
We're gonna talk things over 
And make things right 
'Cause I couldn't sleep at all 
Since we had our fight 
I've got business with my baby tonight 
B.B.'s got business tonight 
We're gotta talk things over 
And make things right 
'Cause I couldn't sleep at all 
Since we had our fight 
I've got business with my baby tonight
