Baby
It's the last day of January
It's near freezing weather outside
It's cold. It's dark. It's depressing
As am I
But baby's got a hold on me
He has me wrapped around his finger
It's baby's birthday
And he wants me near
He wants me by his side
Baby's gonna be a man now
But forever still my baby
I get to the hall
Athenaeum is playing
People mingling everywhere
Baby knows how to attract people
Like him, her, you and me
Baby's got a way of drawing you near
I follow the birthday serenade
JC is leading the singing ensemble
But baby commands the attention
He's got a way of captivating people
He's got alluring charisma
I see baby
Amidst the Armani suits and Valentino gowns
He smiles at me
That million-dollar smile
And leaves me breathless
Alone
By myself
Baby don't give a damn about me
Why would he ever need to
Cause he's got everything without me
I'm just a rock in his shoe
Young and beautiful
Rich and famous
Baby's got it all
What am I to him?
But an old and ugly nobody
But then he draws me near to whisper in his ear
I say the things that baby likes to hear
A smile graces his face
A giggle escapes his throat
And my heart flutters
Baby won't put his arms around me
I think he's embarrassed to say
That he's been down ever since he found me
I'm just a lull in his day
Thought I could give more
Thought I could color his vision
Thought I could give him life
But at the end
Just a lull in his day
Wish I could be more
Than just an old and ugly
Nobody
But there's nothing he could do that would break my heart in two
Cause baby's got a way of keeping you
And there's nothing he could say
That would push my love away
If baby's gone then I don't wanna stay
Please don't make me live without him
I've lived a life where nothings real and nothing matters
Please you can make it easy on me
Let it be
Let me live
For life began with him
I wanna be forever in his arms
Listen to the music of his heart
Engulf the musky scent of baby
Taste the salt of his skin
If baby's gone then I don't wanna stay
Seeing you tonight, in the company of so many attractive men, in the arms of JC, so full of life and joy, I now know I must let you go to return to your own kind. It was foolish of me to think I could blend among your kind- young, beautiful, rich, and famous. It was sweet of you to stay for so long, even if it was out of pity, but now I must let you go. You've already been slipping away and I know it's only a matter of time when one day I'll wake up and you're no longer in my arms, but in the arms of JC's. So, good bye, little boy blue. Good bye, Justin. On this very special day of your birth, I give to you, freedom from my unworthy existence.
Love,
Christopher
_If Baby's Gone
Baby don't give a damn about me
Why would she ever need to
Cause she's got everything without me
I'm just a rock in her shoe
But then she draws me near to whisper in her ear
I say the things that baby likes to hear
Baby won't put her arms around me
I think she's embarrassed to say
That she's been down ever since she found me
I'm just a lull in her day
But there's nothing she could do that would break my heart in two
Cause baby's got a way of keeping you
And there's nothing she could say
That would push my love away
If baby's gone then I don't wanna stay
Please don't make me live without her
I've lived a life where nothings real and nothing matters
Please you can make it easy on me
But then she draws me near to whisper in her ear
I say the things that baby likes to hear
And there's nothing she could say that would push my love away
If baby's gone then I don't wanna stay_
