I must be on the slow boat to China Baby why can't you give me what I need I said I must be on the slow boat to China Lord why can't you give me what I need Don't you think I know the difference Between necessity and greed
Baby you are the light of my life How could you make me so sad Baby you are the light of my life How could you make me so sad What happened to all of what we were together And the beautiful life, that we had
You know all last night I looked for you All I did was wander, All I did was wander Through the streets all last night I looked for you All I did was wander Through the streets Now I feel like I can't get out the bed I can't get out the bed Seem like all I wanna do is sleep
How can my love for you be so alive How can your love for me be so far away How can my love for you be so alive How can your love for me be so far away How can all the lovely words you said to me baby Be something that you'd betray
Has anybody seen my baby She told me that she loved me And that she would be there Has anybody seen my baby My baby told me my baby told me that she would be there I know that she would never leave me I know she wont hurt me I know that she cares
I know you can't find me Do you think I got lost in this here town I know you can't find me Do you think I got lost in this here town I'm fixin to leave this place And I'll have to put you down
Baby you know I love you, yes I do But I'm gonna have to let you go Baby you know I love you, you know I love you But I gotta let you go I'm just tryin to find how to tell you But I'll always love you so
Baby please tell me what happened Baby please don't break my heart Baby please tell me what happened Please don't break my heart
Sometimes a tree gets struck by lightning Sometimes it gets old and falls apart Oh yeah
