The Magnetic Fields - When You Were My Baby lyrics

rate me

We walked alone in the rain and lightning

When you were my baby

So much in love it was almost frightening

When you were my baby

Everybody called you a fool

When you wouldn't play by the rules

Everybody was wrong. Oahu.

There was nowhere to run away to

When you were my baby

Everybody began to hate you

When you were my baby

Time wasn't on our side

Me and my foolish pride

Then I said goodbye. Oahu.

Now you've gone away and left me on my own

Now I'm walking down the highway all alone

On a rainy night and crying out my eyes

We were young, yeah, but old enough to...

When you were my baby

And I just couldn't help but love you

When you were my baby

Just the way you wore your hair

And the way you just didn't care

And the wayyou danced do do do, etc.

When you were my baby
