Baby

    Artist: Justin Bieber

    You know you love me, I know you care

    Just shout whenever, and I’ll be there

    You are my love, you are my heart

    And we will never, ever, ever be apart

    Are we an item? Girl, quit playing

    “Were just friends,” what are you saying

    Said “there’s another,” and looked right in my eyes

    My first love broke my heart for the first time

    And I was like baby, baby, baby, oh

    Like baby, baby, baby, oh

    Like baby, baby, baby, oh

    I thought you’d always be mine, mine

    For you, I would have done whatever

    And I just can’t believe we aren’t together

    And I want to play it cool, but I’m losing you

    I’ll buy you anything, I’ll buy you diamond ring

    And I’m in pieces, baby fix me

    And just shake me till you wake me from this bad dream

    I’m going down, down, down, down

    And I just can’t believe my first love won’t be around

    ...

    When I was 13, I had my first love

    There was nobody that compared to my baby

    And nobody came between us who could ever come above

    She had me going crazy, oh I was starstruck

    She woke me up daily, don’t need no Starbucks

    She made my heart pound

    I skip a beat when I see her in the street

    And at school on the playground

    But I really want to see her on the weekend

    She knows she got me dazing ‘cause she was so amazing

    And now my heart is breaking but I just keep on saying

    Baby, baby, baby, oh

    Like baby, baby, baby, no

    Like baby, baby, baby, oh

    I thought you’d always be mine, mine

    ...
