Fruits Of My Labor Lyrics - Singles - Foster Ruthie

Baby, see how I been livin'. 

Velvet curtains on the windows too. 

Keep the bright and unforgiving 

Light from shining through. 

Baby, remember all the things that we did 

When we slept together 

And the blue behind your eyelids. 

Baby, sweet baby. 

Traced the scent through the gloom 

'Til I found these purple flowers. 

I was spent, I was soon 

Smelling you for hours. 

Lavender, lotus, blossoms too, 

Why does the dirt 

And the flowers last for you, 

Baby, sweet baby? 

Tangerines and persimmons 

And sugar cane, 

Grapes of honeydew melon 

Enough fit for a queen. 

Lemon trees they don't make a sound 

'Til the branches bend and fruit 

Falls to the ground, 

Baby, sweet baby. 

Instrumental verse. 

Come to my world and witness 

The way things have changed. 

'Cause I finally did it baby I 

I got out of the grange. 

I got in my Mercury 

And drove out West 

Pedal to the metal, 

Put my luck to the test 

Baby, sweet baby. 

I've been trying to enjoy 

All the fruits of my labour. 

I've been crying for you boy, 

Oohhhh, but the truth is my savior. 

Baby, sweet baby, 

If it's all the same, 

Take the glory 

Any day over the fame. 

Baby, sweet baby.
