THINKING OF YOU
Fat City Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Things we could do now, baby
If you would only come back to me
Birds in the skies flying
As they fly by crying
Don't put her down
Don't treat her so bad
I didn't know that, sadly
I put you down so badly
If only I'd heard the beat of your heart
Now that you're gone, baby
I think of you daily
Wanting you so, but dream on I do
I didn't know that, sadly
I put you down so badly
If I only I'd heard the beat of your heart
Now that you're gone, baby
I think of you daily
Wanting you so, but dream on I do
Ba ba ba ba... do do do do
Ba ba ba ba... do do do do
Ba ba ba ba... do do do do dooooo
Ba ba ba ba... do do do do
Ba ba ba ba... do do do do
Ba ba ba ba... do do do do dooooo
