lyrics

Well she was a baby one day
But she grew up to be so cold
Now she takes all her anger out on you
And you never got to say

That I was a baby one day
And I knew what I wanted then
Everything made me laugh or cry
And I want it to be that way again
I want it to be that way

And I can't see why
You can't mean
Everything to me
And I don't know why
You won't try
To satisfy my needs

You shot me down for the last time
Cuz I'm moving to Spain to fly
Well please do your best not to miss me baby
Please do your best not to cry

Cuz I was a baby one day
And I knew what I wanted then
Everything made me laugh or cry
And I want it to be that way again
I want it to be that way

And I can't see why
You can't mean
Everything to me
And I don't know why
You won't try
To satisfy my needs
