Lyrics

Baby, oh baby, where have you gone Baby, you're much too young to be moving on Honey, all I have left of you is this song Baby, life at times just seems so wrong You made me love like a liar Made me love like a thief Those are things that I swore that I... I would never be Baby, I wish it didn't have to be like this Oh Baby, sometimes I pretend it's not the way it is But honey, pretend has got to end someday Oh Amy, my love for you will always stay You made me love like a liar Made me love like a thief Those are things that I swore that I... I would never be I would never be... His eyes and mind were rather dazed As he reached for her throat with his hands His faith shattered as he squeezed her neck I bet you could see her last breath Yes, I don't even think he thought about the consequence Poor Amy, I know that you are missed Poor Amy, your body tossed from a car to a ditch Poor Amy, you were as beautiful as the sky Poor Amy, you were only 18 years old You were only 18 years old You were only 18 years old
