8th Day lyrics : "You've Got To Crawl (Before You Walk)"

I got a story to tell you about a
Little girl I loved when I wanted to
Once I stayed away too long

And when I showed up again
This is what she put me through


She wouldn't answer her telephone
I'd ring her bell
And she'd say she wasn't home

I asked her, babe
What do I have to do
To get some loving from you


And she said
You've got to crawl before you walk

Back into these arms of mine
That's what she told me, people
You've got to crawl before you walk

Back into these arms of mine

But, oh, my pride was much too strong

And I couldn't get down on my knees
And say I was wrong


But I needed her love
I couldn't stay off the street
I'd knock on her door

And she'd only repeat

You've got to crawl before you walk

Back into these arms of mine
That's what she said
She said, crawl before you walk

Back into these arms of mine

Oh, I tried everything to keep my pride

But, people, I got weaker
As the days went by
I needed her love much more than I knew

So I begged for forgiveness
And asked her what I had to


She said, break down
You've got too much pride for one man
So I swallowed my pride

Yes, I did, yes, I did

And I broke down on my left knee

And I kind of looked around
To see if anybody was looking
And I broke down on my right knee

And you know what I did

I crawled, yes, I did

Back into my baby's arms
Ooh, I crawled like a baby
Back into my baby's arms


One day your baby might say
You've got to crawl before you walk

Back into these arms of mine
Cause my baby told me


You've got to crawl before you walk
Back into these arms of mine
That's what she said, people

Crawl before you walk
