It's Your Baby, You Rock It
Words & Music:
Milete/ FowlerYou offered me a penny for my thoughts
And I told you then that woman won't stay caught
But you turned and loved her anyway
She broke your heart and all I’ve got to say
It's your baby, you rock it
It's your heartache, you bought it
You made the bed your sleeping in
And I’m tired of hearing about it friend
It's your baby you, rock it
Well you cried upon my shoulder like a baby
I'm sorry 'bout your troubles and your lady
But she done you like she done me
And I’ve used up all my sympathy
It's your baby you, rock it
It's your baby, you rock it
It's your heartache, you bought it
You made the bed your sleeping in
And I’m tired of hearing about it friend
It's your baby you, rock it Recorded:

Elvis CountryReactions
Great musicians are at work here, supporting the greatest singer of all time. Would have been a great single, with The Fool on the B-side. Alas.
I find this to be the most hip song on the Elvis Country LP, musically & lyrically. Why wasn't this released as a single? It was a brand new song as opposed to the 'covers' that were released as a single. Major missed opportunity.
