Mama always said, nothing will break me or lead me astray Who would've guessed, I'd let my mind drift so far away You always said, I was a dreamer Now instead, I'm dreaming of things that's making my mind go crazy Small things like when I call you at home and the answer's the phone All I get's your machine and I don't give me When I lie in my bed with the thoughts in my head When we danced and we sang and we laughed all night Ooh-da-ba-ba, baby, please don't let me go Can't live my life this way Ooh-da-ba-ba, baby, please just let me know And do my, my dance for sure On my train, twenty-odd years now I got off today But nobody said The stop that I've taken Was a stop too late Cause now I'm alone I'm thinking of stupid, hurtful, small things like When I call you at home and the answer's the phone All I get's your machine and I don't give me When I lie in my bed with the thoughts in my head When we danced and we sang and we laughed all night Ooh-da-ba-ba, baby, please don't let me go Can't live my life this way Ooh-da-ba-ba, baby, please just let me know And do my, my dance for sure Maybe it's time to say goodbye Maybe it's time to let this slide This is when we must set things right Now that we've gone our separate ways I just can't live these desperate days This is what I've been trying to say Ooh-da-ba-ba, baby, please don't let me go Can't live my life this way Ooh-da-ba-ba, baby, please just let me know Just let me know Just let me know Ooh-da-ba-ba, baby, please don't let me go Can't live my life this way Ooh-da-ba-ba, baby, please just let me know Please don't let me go Ooh-da-ba-ba, baby, please don't let me go Can't live my life this way Ooh-da-ba-ba, baby, please just let me know Who my, my daddy's Ooh-da-ba-ba, baby, please don't let me go Can't live my life this way Ooh-da-ba-ba, baby, please just let me know Who my, my daddy's Please don't let me go
