My baby left me her skeleton key
She said come and take whatever I need
Up under the stairs by her back door
I don't have to wait no more
My baby left me her skeleton key
My baby keeps her window open wide
She loves the breeze on a summer night
It don't matter where I've been, I know I can slip on it
My baby keeps her window open wide
My baby keeps her fire burning all night long
She knows I won't stay gone too long
Winter comes and it's freezing cold
I've got some place warm to go
My baby keeps her fire burning all night long
She said come and take whatever I need
Up under the stairs by her back door
I don't have to wait no more
My baby left me her skeleton key
My baby keeps her window open wide
She loves the breeze on a summer night
It don't matter where I've been, I know I can slip on it
My baby keeps her window open wide
My baby keeps her fire burning all night long
She knows I won't stay gone too long
Winter comes and it's freezing cold
I've got some place warm to go
My baby keeps her fire burning all night long
