Baby Blue
David Hugo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go
No, I don't have friends
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go
Can I hold your hand? (Please?)

Sitting in the garden
Didn't wanna go
So I threw a tantrum to let my momma know

I don't wanna go
No, I don't wanna
I don't wanna go
To kindergarten (please)

Crying as I walked in
You were crying too
Teacher said that I was sensitive
Called me baby blue

I don't wanna go
I don't wanna leave you here alone

Didn't wanna go, didn't wanna go then I made a friend
Didn't wanna go, didn't wanna go then you held my hand
Baby, baby Blue
It's me and you baby, baby Blue

Saw you fall while playing kickball
It's not for you, it's not for me
Frightened when they turned the lights off
But you kept me company

Didn't wanna go, didn't wanna go then I made a friend
Didn't wanna go, didn't wanna go then you held my hand
Baby, baby Blue
It's me and you baby, baby Blue

Didn't wanna go, didn't wanna go then I made a friend
Didn't wanna go, didn't wanna go then you held my hand




Baby, baby Blue
It's me and you baby, baby Blue

This song brought back a memory from kindergarten. I was not popular but also didn't have much close friends, and one day this one boy came to me and asked me to play with him. Since then we made up a world in our heads where he was the prince and I was the princess, and we always would close our eyes and sit next to each other. we would go on adventures together and fight monsters while holding hands. One day his family and him left the country and said it would only be for a year. Every day I waited for him and tried to keep our world safe until I just gave up. Then in 6th grade he came back, but he was a completely different person and I bet he didn't even remember me..
