Be kind, baby be kind Be kind, baby be kind The light of this might Align your legs to time They give me up as I got mine Oh and that's too many times Baby be kind And my eyelids are fine Don't let your eyes pop out boy You may drop your black candy apple From the fright of having your eyes pop out And someone else buys seeing double So be kind baby be kind Won't cha be kind baby be kind And the way he drops the ants will cover him up I said you'd get 'em back dear Don't cha try to puff them all up Baby dear don't cha try To be kind baby be kind You know the light of this whole world and mine Aligns your legs to time The lake it ain't your fire And that is all I've had Too many had done These eyelids mine Don't let your eyes pop out You might drop them on your stove And they'll wiggle on home Words and music by Devendra Banhart Transcribed by ear, all my own work.
