My Baby -- Janis Joplin

And when I work hard all day long I tell you what, it don't bother
me nohow,  'Cause how could anything ever go wrong
When I got my baby, Lord, yes, When I got my baby, oh Lord!

And when they tell me love is pain I said it might be true for you, honey, But not for Janis no more, no no All I've ever got to do is
call out that man's name  and I got m-my baby, Lord, yeah,
Yes I got my baby, good good God, Honey, I wanna tell you
something that I do.

Deep down, h-honey, in the dark of night, When I lay my head down,
I wanna go to sleep, And I know everything is gonna be alright,
Yeah I got my baby, Lord 'Cause I got m-my baby, oh yeah.

And when I wanna call the names Or the things to be that wanna
be to you.  And when I wanna reach out my hand
It always seems you hold me, dear, Love, don't you know how
long I looked for you   daddy, daddy. Love, don't you know how
hard I tried,  But now I got my baby, Lord, yeah,
Now I got my baby, yeah.

This song started rumors that Janis was pregnant, but in truth the song was dedicated to Janis's dad, whom she had a special relationship with.
