[Verse 1: Susan Anway]
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
[Verse 2: Susan Anway]
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
[Bridge: Susan Anway]
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
[Verse 3: Susan Anway]
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
[Outro: Susan Anway] [x4]
Do do, do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do, do do
When you were my baby
