Baby It’s Still You

by Leslie Darnell

It’s all too late,

There’s no turning back

You had me living

On the fast track.

You wanted answers Now!,

Though we’d only just begun

I never passed your preliminary test

In an instant I was hung.

I wanted Life and Love and Passion

But Perfection was your game,

Yeah, you sure were the Player

As you crossed out my name.

I ain’t what you’re looking for

No flashy, swishy bling-bling,

No cash, no flash , no car

I ain’t the latest thing.

But Baby it was you

These tears are saying so

You never gave us time

For our Love to grow.

And Baby it’s still you

I’ve tried every way I know,

But you’ve shut your heart so tight

No more lead to follow.

I just sit and write this song

Into the winds of time,

Memories of the times we had

And kisses oh so fine.

We spoke of lovers past

While we let each other down,

The Now is what we lost

As we watched each other drown.

We talked of romantic movies

And forgot to live our own,

As if we were on The Oprah Show…

And now our chance is gone.

But you said it wasn’t me,

I wasn’t quite the fit

Into the game you’d planned

We’d never be a hit.

But Baby it was you

These tears are saying so

You never took the chance

For our Love to grow…

And Baby it’s still you

But I have to let you go,

I’m not the one you wanted Love,

But Babe, it’s still you…
