Oh pretty baby You look helpless There is beauty in pain Help is coming So don't you worry Don't even try to explain The sirens blaring The look of panic These are the signs of a dream Cry pretty baby You'll feel better I'm trying hard not to scream CHORUS What will your mother say What will your father say What will the angels say As they hide in disgrace From your beautiful face Hush my darling There's tomorrow We'll be laughing again I'll buy a camera We'll take vacations Try not to move if you can Without a warning Without a reason There wasn't even a scream Don't call it tragic That gives it meaning I'm trying hard not to scream CHORUS x 2
A tiny diamond Lies out on Main Street That's all that's left of our love Without your loving My life is nothing How can I ever go on CHORUS x 2 In a movie, a life can be summed up in a word It's a useful, dramatic device In the real world, with real flesh and real blood One word is never, ever enough
