I got to get to my baby, she lives across town
She’s the finest thing for miles around
I’m walkin’ to my baby
I’m walking to my baby
Yes, I’m walkin’ to my baby cause her lovin’ worth walkin’ for

I got holes in my shoes and blisters on my feet
I got to get to that woman ’cause she’s so sweet
Walkin’ to my baby
I’m walkin’ to my baby
Yes, I’m walkin’ to my baby cause her lovin’ worth walkin’ for
Let’s walk right now

SOLOS

Well, I’d gladly walk to Dallas if I really had to
When I’m with my baby she know just what to do
Walkin’ to my baby
I’m walkin’ to my baby
I’m walkin’ to my baby cause her lovin’ worth walkin’ for

I’m checking up on my baby
Find out what she’s puttin’ down
I’m checking up on my baby
Find out what she’s puttin’ down
So many nights and days
Since I left this town

Well I wouldn’t call home
You know I wouldn’t even write
Well I wouldn’t call home
You know I wouldn’t even write
I just caught me a plane
I flew back that same night

Checking up on my baby
Find out what she’s puttin’ down
Checking up on my baby
Find out what she’s puttin’ down
So many nights and days
Since I left this town

Well I wouldn’t call home
You know I wouldn’t even write
Well I wouldn’t call home
You know I wouldn’t even write
I just caught me a plane
I flew back that same night

Verse
If I’m standing in a crowd, call my name, call it loud
Don’t go to strangers, woman, call on me

Wave your arms in the air, let me know that you’re there
When in doubt, oh woman, call on me

Bridge
Don’t leave me here to rust, don’t let me turn to dust
Oh, woman, when in doubt, call on me

Verse
If I’m standing in a crowd, call my name, call it loud
Don’t go to strangers, woman, call on me
