One for My Baby (Live)

One for My Baby (Live) - Lou Reed

Lyrics by：ARLEN/HAROLD/MERCER/JOHNNY

Composed by：ARLEN/HAROLD/MERCER/JOHNNY

It's quarter to three there's no one in the place

Except you and me

So set 'em up Joe I got a little story

I wanna know

We're drinking my friend to the end

Of a brief episode

One for my baby

And one more for the road

I got the routine put another quarter

In the machine

I'm feeling so sad why won't you make the music

Dreamin' and sad

I could tell you a lot but it's not

In a gentleman's code

One for my baby

And one more for the road

Well you'd never know it but I'm a kind of poet

And I've got a lot of things I'd like to say

And when I'm gloomy won't you listen to me

Till it's talked away

Well that's how it goes and Joe I know your gettin'

Anxious to close

Maybe thanks for the cheer

I hope you didn't mind

My bending your ear

But this torch that I found

It's soon must be drowned

Or it just might explode

One for my baby

And one more for the road

One for my baby

And one more for the road

Long-long lonesome road

Long-long lonesome road

Long-long lonesome road

Long-long lonesome road

Long-long lonesome road

Long-long lonesome road

Long-long lonesome road

Long-long lonesome road
