Sure is hard to remember Life before you walked in the picture I was a sad Mona Lisa with a crooked frame Standing on my platform, waiting for my train I was messed up, wondering, broke down, stumbling Running for my life Was heartbroke, hard up, a long string of bad luck Searching with no end in sight Before you called me baby Before you looked me in the eyes I had nothing left to save me Before you called me, before you called me Before you called me baby It's like the walls soaked down and the lights turned on And the band started playing a different song I was baptized by the fire in your kiss No I've never, ever felt like this Before you called me baby Before you looked me in the eyes I had nothing left to save me Before you called me, before you called me Before you called me baby Before you called me baby I was drowning, wasted, lost and jaded Hanging by a thread I was sinking, shook up, and almost gave up On this lonely heart in my chest Before you called me baby Before you looked me in the eyes I had nothing left to save me Before you called me, before you called me Before you called me baby, before you called me baby, oh yeah Before you called me baby, baby, baby, baby Oooh
