It’s just me and you, baby... it’s just me and you, baby....I remember how....in the summer, at night we used to hitchhike a mile and a half outside of town.....there was this field out there and this guy, he abandoned this old Cadillac in the middle of this field and the outsides of it was pretty, it was all stripped down but the interior was still ok....and I can remember....I can remember us running back....I can remember running back....way down by the railroad tracks.....baby....he had cleats on his boots and baby´s heels were stacked....we´d go running back.....and I remember there was this night, we were sitting in the back and about a half-mile down the road we could see these kids, they set this old farmhouse on fire....we could see ´em rising.....rising ´cross the sky....yeah, and down and down....oh, and, baby, down and down and down....and the rain came tumbling down....and we were spinning round and round....and down and down we´d go....and ´round and ´round we´d go and down and down, baby take me, baby take me down and down and down.....I just wanna(?), I just wanna(?), I just wanna.....just wanna....spin around and ´round....and I remember because we were sitting out on the hood just watching the sky turn colors....and I remember that you promised, you said you was never gonna go anyplace without me....and I said that was good because I didn´t wanna go....(?)....you said you would never wanna go anyplace without me.....you said you were never gonna go anyplace without me....and I remember because I remember you promised....I remember you promised it to me way back when, way back when you promised....you said you would never wanna go anyplace without me....way back when you promised....you swore, you swore on it, you said you´d never wanna go anyplace without me.....and then the rain came....and then the time changed.....and then the rain came....and then the times changed.....and then we got strange....and then....and then.... you promised, and then she kissed me…oh, oh...and then she kissed me....oh, oh.....and then she kissed me.....ooh, ooh....and then you kissed me....oh yeah....and then you kissed me....oh yeah....and then you touched me.....ooh, ooh.....and then you kissed me ....and then you touched me....oh yeah....you promised.....but I knew, but I knew....but I knew....but I knew....I knew you lied....Baby why?  I knew you lied.....your pretty li-li-li-lies..... your pretty li-li-li-lies.....your pretty li-li-li-lies....all your pretty li-li-li-lies.... you promised….???? ….But you swore to me….but you swore to me…. but you swore.... but you swore.... but you swore.... but you swore....  but you swore....you swore....YOU PROMISED.....´´
