Athenaeum Lyrics
"If Baby's Gone"

Baby don't give a damn about me
Why would she ever need to
'Cause she's got everything without me
I'm just a rock in her shoe

But then she draws me near to whisper in her ear
I say the things that baby likes to hear

Baby won't put her arms around me
I think she's embarrassed to say
That she's been down ever since she found me
I'm just a lull in her day

But there's nothing she could do that would break my heart in two
'Cause baby's got a way of keeping you
And there's nothing she could say
That would push my love away

If baby's gone I don't wanna stay

Please don't make me live without her
I've lived a life where nothing's real and nothing matters
Please you can make it easy on me

But then she draws me near to whisper in her ear
I say the things that baby likes to hear
And there's nothing she could say that would push my love away
If baby's gone then I don't wanna stay
