Oh you and me I think we're the same
Love brings you pain and pain brings you poetry
I still remember the night that we met
I liked how you sang and I liked how you danced
And the champagne really helped
Cause I'm a bit shy but you said that's alright and
You shook my hand yeah you were so polite
You said are you free for the rest of the night and I
Wasn't looking for your love
But I'm glad that I found it anyhow
Oh you said baby, baby, baby
And I'll never forget the way
You were singing baby, baby, baby
If only you could stay
I've been here before, yeah I've played this game
Love brings you pain and pain brings you poetry
We both knew
You had places to go you had people to see
You were only passing through
The city I live in the city I love but
Sometimes for fun I picture me and you
Watching the Saturday morning cartoons
And its funny how we think we can know someone
Put the pieces together however we choose
Oh you said baby, baby, baby
And I'll never forget the way
You were singing baby, baby, baby
If only you could stay
Now I'm not expecting to see you again
But I think of you every now and then
And that song, that sweet song
Might be stuck in my head for the rest of my life
And you'll just keep travelling down that wide road
And I'll carry on pretending that your songs are about me
Honey aren't they
Well it doesn't matter, its just I had nothing to lose
Oh you said baby, baby, baby
I'll never forget the way
Oh you said baby, baby, baby
And I'll never forget the way
You were singing baby, baby, baby
If only you could stay
It's got nothing to do with the fortune and fame
When love brings you pain, pain brings you poetry
