Baby Blue Baby blue, if you know Just how much I'd like to make you mine Baby blue, maybe you would let me be Your lover just one time I watch you walk around And you're really looking down I know that someone hurt you long ago At night when I'm asleep Into all my dreams you creep I want you more than you could ever know I pass you every day But you seem so far away And I can't climb those prison wall you're in If you could only see Just how much you mean to me I know that I could make you smile again DeFranco's Rule!

BECAUSE WE BOTH ARE YOUNG Because we both are young, they say we're not in love But what do they know of this feeling that we share I wish that I could find a way to tell them we're so much more than friends And how much we really care for one another Because we both are young, they just don't understand They say the things we've planned are only foolish dreams But, girl, they just don't know the way we feel when we're all alone Or just talkin' on the telephone, so close together I don't know what they're thinkin' of Do they think that love is just for them all alone? No matter what they say, we're gonna stay together, and whatever, we'll do fine on our own So, let them say that we'll grow up and leave this all behind But, girl, they must be blind to the light in your eyes But we don't need to prove a thing to anyone, for we have just begun And the best part of our lives is now and all because, because we both are young (repeat) Sequel Music, Inc.
