We walked alone in the rain and lightning

When you were my baby

So much in love it was almost frightening 

When you were my baby 

Everybody called you a fool 

When you wouldn't play by the rules 

Everybody was wrong. Oahu. 

There was nowhere to run away to 

When you were my baby 

Everybody began to hate you

When you were my baby 

Time wasn't on our side 

Me and my foolish pride 

Then I said goodbye. Oahu. 

Now you've gone away and left me on my own 

Now I'm walking down the highway all alone 

On a rainy night and crying out my eyes 

We were young, yeah, but old enough to... 

When you were my baby 

And I just couldn't help but love you 

When you were my baby 

Just the way you wore your hair 

And the way you just didn't care

And the wayyou danced do do do, etc.

When you were my baby
