Taking My Baby Up Town Lyrics - To The Limit - Joan Armatrading

I was walking down the street 

Looking like a million dollars 

With a pretty person on my arm 

When someone started shouting 

They were hooting and a hollering 

They were saying I should 

Never have been born 

I said baby you hear that 

You're listening to the voices of fools 

I said baby let me tell you 

What they're trying to do 

They're trying to make our love 

A thing of the past 

But I said a-ha

There very next day 

It was early in the morning 

The sun was shining on my back 

I was feeling pretty rested 

The air smelt good 

And I forgot about 

The thing in the park 

When they walked up 

then they passed me 

You know I didn't want to turn my head 

But they started up again 

And those silly voices rang 

And the clanging was 

Too much for my brain 

But I said a-ha 

What we've got is the best 

Photos 

It was Friday I had money 

I was feeling kind of special 

I was taking my baby up town 

The moon was high 

The stars were bright 

And there were lots of people in the street 

I held your hand 

And you kissed me 

And then all the people started to stare 

We started a commotion 

Someone making comments 

Morals, the state of affairs 

And I said 

What we got is the best
