I got a gal who's always late
Any time we have a date
But I love her
Yes, I love her
I'm gonna walk up to her gate
To see if I can get it straight
'Cause I want her
I'm gonna ask her
Is you is or is you ain't my baby
The way you're acting lately makes me doubt
I am still your baby, baby, baby
Oh, but it seems my flame in your heart done gone out
A woman is a creature that has always been strange
Just when you think you're sure of one
She's gone and made a change
Is you is or is you ain't my baby
Maybe, maybe baby's found somebody new
(Both:)
Or is my baby still my baby true
(MS spoken:)
Now listen, I wanna know what the real deal be.
I mean, talk to me.
(Joe spoken:)
Rap on, baby, rap on, rap on.
(MS spoken:)
Tell me what happened.
I mean, who was that woman I saw you with last night?
And don't you tell me there wasn't no woman. I know it, I know it.
(JW spoken:)
Listen, Marlena. Let me tell you this one time.
If there is anything going on anywhere that is more fun than it is here, I will be there.
And I am here.
(MS spoken:)
You tellin' me the truth?
(JW spoken:)
I'm here with you, y'understand?
(MS spoken:)
I don't know about that.
I don't know about that.
(JW spoken:)
Rap on, baby
Well, I got a guy, always late
And anytime we have a date
Oh, but I love him
Yes, I love him
Now, I am gonna walk up to his gate
Shake my finger and just try to get it straight
'Cause I need him
And I surely am gonna ask him
Now, is you is or is you ain't my baby
The way that you're acting lately makes me doubt
You are still my baby, baby
It seems that my flame in your heart done gone out
I know one thing, a man is just a creature who has always been strange
Just when you think that you're sure of one
Look out, he done made a change
Is you is or is you ain't my baby
Or is my baby found somebody new
(Both:)
Or is my baby still my baby true

I don't know.
I don't know.
It sound kinda sweet, but are you telling me the whole truth and nothing but the truth?
[JW scat]
(MS spoken:)
Oh, your story's touching.
Your story's touching.
