When You Were My Baby

The Magnetic Fields

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 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 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
