  • She gave you everything she had
    But she was young and dumb
    She'd just turned twenty-one
    She didn't care to hang around
    So when the shit came down
    Why she was nowhere to be found
    This life can turn a good girl bad
    She was the sweetest thing
    That you had ever seen

    You're such a delicate boy
    In the hysterical realm
    Of an emotional landslide
    In physical terms

    With your cherry lips and golden curls
    You could make grown men gasp
    When you'd go walking past them
    In your hot pants and high heels
    They could not believe
    That such a body was for real
    It seemed like rainbows would appear
    Whenever you came near the clouds would disappear
    Because you looked just like a girl
    Your baby blues would flash
    And suddenly a spell was cast

    You hold a candle in your heart
    You shine the light on hidden parts
    You make the whole world want to dance
    You bought yourself a second chance

    Go Baby Go Go
    We're right behind you
    Go baby Go Go
    Yeah we're looking at you
    Go baby Go GO
    Aw we're right behind you
    Go Baby
    Go Baby
    Yeah we're looking at you

  • Gavbunny from AustraliaI just watched the studio version and a live one and they definitely obscured her voice more than I realised! But such a wonderful song.
  • Theresa from Murfreesboro, TnShirley does her best Madonna impression with the quirky vocals, this song is delicious!
  • Vincent Ferraro from Hesperia, CaThat's pretty weird.
