See that boy walking down the street 
Thinks he`s tough but he smiles so sweet 
Snakeskin boots and a baseball cap 
Bet you`d like to meet a boy like that 

He`s a little crazy he`s a little loud 
He loves to do what ain`t allowed 
And he might talk too slow and drive too fast 
But he`d do any little thing I ask cause 

That`s my baby 
That`s my baby 
That`s my diamond in the rough 
But I can make him shine with my sweet love 
That`s my baby 

He`s a rebel wild and free 
My mama says he ain`t right for me 
Daddy prays he`s just a phase I`m going through 
But one of these days their gonna love him too `cause 

That`s my baby 
That`s my baby 
That`s my diamond in the rough 
But I can make him shine with my sweet love 
That`s my baby 

He ain`t no angel he ain`t no saint 
But I don`t worry `bout what he ain`t 
`Cause what he is, is something fine 
And he lets me know that he`s mine all mine 

That`s my baby 
That`s my baby 
That`s my diamond in the rough 
But I can make him shine with my sweet love 
That`s my baby

(Chuck Rains/Cindy Green/Don Cook) Charts: Billboard Peak of 5 on 12/24/94 - R&R peak of 5 on 12/5/94

I always wondered how I`d live without you 
If you ever said goodbye 
Would I just live in dreams about you 
With tears in my eyes 
Would I fall to pieces when you go 
I always wondered how I`d live without you 
Now I know 

I`m doing alright 
I`m strong enough to make it on my own 
I`m not afarid of the night 
I`m learning how to face it alone 
I`ve been good at holding on 
Now I`m learning to let go 
I always wondered how I`d live without you 
Now I know 

I always wondered what I`d do without you 
I found out today 
I got up and made a cup of coffee 
And time just slipped away 
I dressed up and went out on the town 
To places you`d never go 
I always wondered what I`d do without you 
Now I know 

I`m doing alright 
I`m strong enough to make it on my own 
I`m not afarid of the night 
I`m learning how to face it alone 
I`ve been good at holding on 
Now I`m learning to let go 
I always wondered how I`d live without you 
Now I know 

I dress up and go out on the town 
To places you`d never go 
I always wondered what I`d do without you 
Now I know 

I`m doing alright 
I`m strong enough to make it on my own 
I`m not afarid of the night 
I`m learning how to face it alone 
I`ve been good at holding on 
Now I`m learning to let go 
I always wondered how I`d live without you 
Now I know

You can take a stranger home 
Never spend a night alone 
But you have to face the morning feeling empty inside 
`Cause you can`t pretend it`s real 
When what you really want to feel 
Is the magic of the moment when love can`t be denied 

When your heart makes a sound like rolling thunder 
And your arms are wrapped around an angel from above 
And when the earth begins to shake 
`Cause it can feel the love you make 
Oh oh oh that`s how you know 
When you`re in love 

I had all but given up 
On ever finding love 
Until I caught a glimpse of heaven when I looked into your eyes 
And your fingers touched my skin 
Like a stormy summer wind 
Now I`m falling like the rain oh what a sweet surprise 

When your heart makes a sound like rolling thunder 
And your arms are wrapped around an angel from above 
And when the earth begins to shake 
`Cause it can feel the love you make 
Oh oh oh that`s how you know 
When you`re in love 

All of God`s creation starts to sing in harmony 
All I know you can hear it baby I know you believe 

When your heart makes a sound like rolling thunder 
And your arms are wrapped around an angel from above 
And when the earth begins to shake 
`Cause it can feel the love you make 
Oh oh oh that`s how you know 
When you`re in love

Reviews for Wishes

All Music Review of "Wishes"

Wishes is a solid home run of an album with much more to offer than simply its singles. Wishes was Lari White's breakthrough release, and it's easy to hear why. Besides the infectious, small-town summer crush feel of lead single "That's My Baby," there's the spectacular chorus harmonies of "That's How You Know (When You're in Love)" (featuring Hal Ketchum), the gospel-tinged "When It Rains," and the brassy "Go On," which could almost be the fiery heart of a feisty insurgent country artist's next project for Bloodshot. Tracks like this showcase White's torchy vocal, which is a combination of Trisha Yearwood's brassiness with a bit of Patsy Cline.
