before you called me baby

sure is hard to remember

life before you walked in the picture

i was a sad mona lisa with a crooked frame

standing on my platform

waiting for my train

i was messed up

wondering

broke down

stumbling

running for my life

was heartbroke

hard up

a long string of bad luck

searching with no end in sight

before you called me baby

before you looked me in the eyes

i had nothing left to save me

before you called me

before you called me

before you called me baby

it's like the walls soaked down and the lights turned on

and the band started playing a different song

like i was baptized by the fire in your kiss

no i've never

ever felt like this

before you called me baby

before you looked me in the eyes

i had nothing left to save me

before you called me

before you called me

before you called me baby

before you called me baby

i was drowning

wasted

lost and jaded

hanging by a thread

i was sinking

shook up

and almost gave up

on this lonely heart in my chest

before you called me baby

before you looked me in the eyes

i had nothing left to save me

before you called me

before you called me

before you called me baby

before you called me baby

before you called me baby

baby

baby

baby
