My mama said nothing would break me or lead me astray Who would have guessed I'd let my mind drift so far away You always said I was a dreamer now it's dead I'm dreaming of things that's making my mind go crazy Small things like When I call you at home and he answers the phone Or I get your machine and I don't hear 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 bop bop baby please don't let me go Can't live my life this way Ooh da bop bop baby please just let me know And put my mind at ease for sure On a love train 20 odd years now I got off today But nobody said the stop that I've taken Was a stop too late Now I'm alone I'm thinking of stupid Hurtful small things like When I call you at home and he answers the phone Or I get your machine and I don't hear 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 bop bop baby please don't let me go Can't live my life this way Ooh da bop bop baby please just let me know And put my mind at ease for sure Maybe it's time to say goodbye Maybe it's time to let this lie 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 bop bop baby please don't let me go Can't live my life this way Ooh da bop bop baby please just let me know And put my mind at ease for sure
