Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Chorus]
Ba da da da da da da
I can't find the time to tell you
Ba da da da da da da
I can't find the time to tell you

So many things to say
I could fit 'em in a book
Fit 'em in a book of a thousand pages, yeah

So many people say
That I couldn't tell a lie
Couldn't tell a lie in a thousand ages

Baby you're wrong
Baby you're wrong

[Chorus]

I look at your pretty face
And I fall in love with you
Fall in love with you every time I see you, yeah

Nightgowns of regal lace
That are flowin' to the ground
Flowin' to the ground in a mist around you

Baby you're wrong
Baby you're wrong
Baby you're wrong
Baby you're wrong

[Chorus]

Ba da da da da da da
Ba da da da da da da




Ba da da da da da da
Ba da da da da da da

@ALYS.Project9 That series was released by the notorious Alan Lorber on his Iris Music Group label. We do not recommend IMG releases as they are sonically substandard and often contain an "echo effect". If you let us know what specific track you are looking for, we can send it to you.
