"When You Were My Baby" lyrics

"When You Were My Baby"

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, whoa whoa

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, whoa whoa

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
Crying out my eyes
Crying out my, crying out my eyes

We were young, yeah, but old enough too...
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 way you danced

Do do, do do do, do do do, do do do do do
When you were my baby
Do do, do do do, do do do, do do do do do
When you were my baby
Do do, do do do, do do do, do do do do do
When you were my baby
Do do, do do do, do do do, do do do do do
When you were my baby
