You Killed My Baby

(album: Respect - 1985)

They wanted to stamp out his dreams, like he was on fire
They thought they were doing him a favor

You knew what you did, as you shaped your faith
And you were busy, you had to go some place
Was it just something you felt you had to do?
You killed my baby

And I loved you, not because we were related
Or that I was obligated, or because I had to
So tell me why did you, why did you
Kill my baby

And when they asked you what was the matter
You said nothing was the matter and it didn't matter
I guess it didn't matter much to you
You killed my baby

Were you just jeal were you just jealous?
What was the deal, was it to sell it?
Too unreal, can you imagine just how I feel?
You killed my baby

And I got a new baby, happy & new
And he's mad at you, and bitter too
And if you don't think that's fair, then make your own movie
You killed my baby
