My baby changes like the weather
One day she’s warm and then she’s cold
But someday I’ll understand her better
In about a thousand years or so.

But as long as there’s blue sky above me
As long as there’s life in my hands
My baby knows I always will be
Her lovin’ understandin’ man.

My baby rocks me like the ocean
Don’t know which way she’s gonna go
But maybe someday she’ll find direction
In about a thousand years or so.

But as long as there’s blue sky above me
As long as there’s life in my hands
My baby knows I always will be
Her lovin’ understandin’ man.

But as long as there’s blue sky above me
As long as there’s life in my hands
My baby knows I always will be
Her lovin’ understandin’ man…
