Is Baby Ok?

Stop smoking your cigarette, don’t blow the smoke into my face. Don’t tell me that I 
like it like that. Push your hair away from your eyes, draw your fingers away from my 
lace. I don’t like it like that. You leave me crying one more time…

Is baby ok? Is baby going to be alright? Please tell me, will baby make it another 
night? Is baby ok, is baby ok now?

I’m counting buttons up your blazer, counting the minutes until you leave. Tonight’s 
just not the night. Hide your eyes with the mirrored glasses, look down on me as I 
plead. Tonight’s just not the night for us. You leave me crying one more time…

Is baby ok? Is baby going to be alright? Please tell me, will baby make it another 
night? Is baby ok, is baby ok now?

Put baby in the corner, leave baby crying your name. is baby going to make it through, 
is baby ever going to be ok? Is baby ok? Is baby ok?
