lyrics

Like a Baby

You sit and you stew and you wail and you moan
You say I don’t care – that I’ve left you alone
You tell me “Don’t bother – won’t do any good
…to try and explain what’s been misunderstood”
And I tiptoe around and I don’t make a sound.
I keep my head down and my feet on the ground.
I stand there all stoic as you rant and you rave
…and I say “There are some things nobody can save”
and you scream and you yell as I stare at my feet,
And I walk to my car and I drive down the street

And I cry, and I cry, and I cry
Like a baby.

Now you sip on a beer and force out a smile
and say “I know it’s weird, and it has been a while
and I know what to do with the misunderstood
…but where do I file all the things that were good?”
And your voice won’t come out, but your chin tells me how
even though you may try, it’s still hard for you now
and I sit like a child, my head hanging low,
and you laugh and you sigh and you get up to go…
and I know my words can’t help anymore
and you drive down the street and I close the front door…

And I cry, and I cry, and I cry
Like a baby.
And I cry, and I cry, and I cry
Like a baby.
