It was 25 years ago
And I was just itching to move
I knew if I stayed right where I was
I’d never get out of my groove
But then as it happened
The rabbit suddenly died
And instead of feeling blessed
I was horrified
This one’s for the baby
The baby we never had
This one’s for the baby
I’ll never not feel sad
This one’s for the baby
The baby we never made
B-A-B-Y
The memory it won’t fade
I planned to move to Boston
I was desperate to change my life
I’d had about all I could stand
Every day was storm and strife
But then you called me
And I freaked out like a jerk
You cried your holy head off
While I went berserk
You won’t ever forgive me and I won’t ever forgive me
No one gets forgiven, baby, oh baby
It’s been 25 years now
And here we are on the rocks
We can’t move forward
And we can’t turn back the clocks
You have never absolved me
And frankly neither have I
Here we live side by side
And turn a blind eye
