I looked into my baby's eyes
I tried so hard to find some light
When I looked there was no one there
No one there at all

I walked on down a crowded street
I hard somebody talk to me
When I turned around to speak
There was no one there at all

Can't go back, I can't go back
Can't go back, I can't go back
Can't go back, I can't go back
To the place I was before

I stuck a needle in my arm
I stuck it in my baby's heart
She looked so hot and sexy
She wasn't there at all

I heard some one break in my house
They had a gun they had a knife
But it was all behind my eyes
There was no one there at all

Can't go back, I can't go back
Can't go back, I can't go back
Can't go back, I can't go back
To the place I was before

My baby looked into my eyes
She tried so hard to find some light
When she looked there was no one there
No one there at all

Can't go back, I can't go back
Can't go back, I can't go back
Can't go back, I can't go back
To the place I was before
