Seven Seas
Baby Face Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sitting by the window
All day thinking of you
Watching the days go by, I started to cry
But they weren't tears of sadness
They only meant I love you
And I want to tell you girl that I, oh, I

I'll travel 'round the seven seas for you
It's written in the melody I adore you
I wrote my love a symphony
To show you there's nothing I won't do
Baby I'll walk around the china wall for you
If there's a way I'll do it all for you
Anything you want me to, you know I would do

People think I'm crazy, they say
I'm just a nothing
Letting my life pass me by
Believing you're with me
Well I can't speak for no one
But in my heart I know you love me
And that's why I'll always tell you I
Oh I, oh I, oh I

Do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do
