I`m checkin`up my baby
Find out what she puttin`do
I`m checkin`up my baby
Trying to find out what she puttin down
So many nights and days
You know I have been out of town

I`m afraid to write a letter
I wouldn`t even make no telephone call
I`m afraid to write a letter
I did`nt make no telephone call
Cause I didn`t want my baby to know
I was back in town at all
Wouldn`t even call nobody

I wouldn`t even be seen
I didn`t talk to nobody
and I didn`t want to be seen
I want to sleep off my pity as a midnight dream
Checkin`, checkin`up on my baby

Tryin` to find out what she puttin`down
Checkin` up on my baby
trying find out what she puttin down
Because I been a longtime
Since I been back in town
