Oh, my baby, I see on your face
The stories are taking their toll
Oh my baby just listen with grace
And we'll fix you up right when you're old
I'd hold your hand but she'd tear you away
So I'll just be here waiting ok
Let's do what Solomon says
Let's do what Solomon says
Oh, my baby, you're right to pretend
That you don't understand what I'm saying
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry again
You don't need more rattling your brain
What good would it do to tell you the truth
To tell you she'd rip you in two
Let's do what Solomon says
Let's do what Solomon says
Oh, my baby, she's killing you
And it's not fair to say just be strong
And it's killing me baby 'cause there's nothing that I can do
But write one more impotent song
I'd hold your hand but she'd tear you away
So I'll just be here waiting ok
I'll just be here waiting ok
Let's do what Solomon says
Let's do what Solomon says
Let's do what Solomon says
Let's do what Solomon says
Let's do what Solomon says
Let's do what Solomon says
