I got a gal who's always late

Anytime we have a date

But I love her, mmm, I love her

I'm gonna walk up to that gate

And see if I can get it straight

'cause I want her, I'm gonna ask her

Is you is or is you ain't my baby?

The way you're actin' lately makes me doubt

You's is still my baby, baby

Seems my flame in your heart's done gone out

Now, a woman is a creature that has always been strange

Just when you're sure of one, you'll find she's gone and made a change

Is you is or is you ain't my baby?

Maybe baby's found somebody new

Or is my baby still my baby true?
