Only the very young and the very beautiful can be so aloof Hanging out with the boys, all swagger and poise I don't even care what other people are there I just stare and stare and stare
I see your shadow in the swimming pool I see your face in the shaving mirror Time and time and time again I follow your footsteps so quietly up the backstairs And I hope and I pray you ain't never going to find me there
Smooth skin and tenderness long ago on a dark night Wish I could see you once again just to remember it was true I wanna be still beside you, quiet and still beside you Listening to your breathing and feeling your warmth again
War Baby - you were a War Baby - this means War Baby - I'm scared, so scared Of whatever it is you keep putting me through
I don't think I could stand another ten years of this fighting All this stabbing and wounding, only getting my own back I don't wanna batter you to your feet and knees and elbows When I'm kneeling by the candle at the foot of my own bed
Corresponding disasters every night on the TV Sickening reality keep gripping me in its guts All my friends talk and joke and laugh about Armageddon But like a nightmare it's still waiting there At the end of each and every day
War Baby - you were a War Baby - this means War Baby - I'm scared, so scared Whatever it is you keep putting me through
I don't think I could stand another ten years of this fighting All this stabbing and wounding, only getting my own back But later that same evening we were out in the car talking I suddenly wondered who the hell it was we were trying to fool
'Cause you were the first one I ever wanted And it's you I come home to at the end of every day Like a mother-sucking baby, demanding and so helpless A little old balding man, all wrinkles and bulging eyes
War Baby War Baby - this means War Baby - I'm scared, so scared Whatever it is you keep putting me through You were a War Baby Talking 'bout the Third World War, baby War Baby - so scaredTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
