She's got the mind of a child
And a body peaking over the hill
Well, she would if she could

And she should but nobody will
With her nails painted red
And her hair so unnaturally curled

Well I think that she may be
The oldest baby in the world


She's tasted the night life
But it's left her with nothing but hunger
And all the available men

Seem to think that they want something younger
But youth is a costume
And the beauty within lies unfurled

And I think that she may be
The oldest baby in the world


Fast horses win races
And royal flushes beat aces
And everyone's playing to keep

So let's turn out the lights
And rock that old baby to sleep


She loves the sound of the rain
But you know she's still afraid of the thunder
She keeps a head full of hope

And a heart that's so full of wonder
She may look like a woman
But she's still some daddy's little girl

And I think that she may be
The oldest baby in the world
Yes, I think that she may be

The oldest baby in the world
