BABY, PLEASE (Pete Ham/Joey Molland/Mike Gibbins)
[from Straight Up remastered CD - recorded 1971 - released U.S. 2010]

She's a long, tall, skinny-minny, never says a word, but she knows
She never tells you why, she's clever and she lets it show
She's an all-around, bawdy-clawdy, everyday collector of dreams
But she never tells you why she's clever and she loves to please

Stay, baby, stay
Play, baby, play
Won't you please?

She's the old soul of rock 'n' roll, she's every kind of woman you see
She never tells me how she's so clever and she has to be
She's an all-night, treat-me-right, answer to my lonely day
She never tells me why she's clever and she always plays

Stay, baby, stay
Play, baby, play
Won't you please?

Please
Come on, please
Please

Stay
[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]

Stay, baby, stay
Play, baby, play
Won't you please?

[guitar solo (Pete Ham):
Plea-a-ee-ese
Pleea-Plea-a-ee-ese
Plee-e-ah-ese
Plee-a-ee-a-ese, eeeee-ese
Plea-a-eese].
