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. 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
Cuando Eras Mi Bebé
Caminábamos solos bajo la lluvia y los relámpagos
Cuando eras mi bebé
Tan enamorados que era casi aterrador
Cuando eras mi bebé
Todos te llamaban tonto
Cuando no seguías las reglas
Todos estaban equivocados. Oahu.
No había a dónde escapar
Cuando eras mi bebé
Todos empezaron a odiarte
Cuando eras mi bebé
El tiempo no estaba de nuestro lado
Yo y mi orgullo tonto
Entonces me despedí. Oahu.
Ahora te has ido y me has dejado sola
Ahora camino por la carretera completamente sola
En una noche lluviosa y llorando a mares
Éramos jóvenes, sí, pero lo suficientemente mayores como para...
Cuando eras mi bebé
Y simplemente no podía evitar amarte
Cuando eras mi bebé
Solo la forma en que llevabas tu cabello
Y la forma en que simplemente no te importaba
Y la forma en que bailabas do do do, etc.
Cuando eras mi bebé
