She Was My Baby (He Was My Friend)

I gave my car keys to my buddy last night
He was supposed to get my baby and bring her back
Well, he took off like a flash down highway 183
But he never brought my baby back to me, now

She was my baby, he was my friend
But this is where love and friendship ends
'Cause I heard he was in old Mexico with my Cecilia
Eating enchiladas and sipping tequila

I hired a private eye to track him down
He said, "I'm gonna need clues if they can ever be found"
Well, I said the last time I seen 'em was on highway 183
But he never brought my baby back to me, now

She was my baby, he was my friend
But this is where love and friendship ends
'Cause I heard he sold the car, and then he kept the doggone money
He was flyin' to Miami with a my honey, yeah

I couldn't believe that things would ever go this far
First my baby, then my buddy, now my brand-new car
'Cause it seems like yesterday he left on 183
He never brought my baby back to me, now

She was my baby, he was my friend
But this is where love and friendship ends
'Cause I heard he was in Philadelphia looking real neat
Doing the monkey with my baby on a South Street, c'mon now

She was my baby, he was my friend
But this is where love and friendship ends
All I heard he was out in Philadelphia a looking real neat
Doing the monkey with my baby on a South Street
