Was like fallin'from heaven
on un-known ground.
Like the key for the backdoor
that never was found.
Like a spring in the desert,
like snow in July.
Wakin'up in the morning
with a lullabye...
Refrain:
That's why I'm never gonna be
Jack's Baby,
that's why I'm never gonna see
Jack's Baby.
We'll grow older every day,
hearts get colder,anyway...
...wanna be Jack's Baby...
Why you've made it all past
before it began?
Let the king of the world be
a begger again.
A fragment relingers
through time and space.
Let it run through your fingers
with a smile on your face...
Refrain:
That's why I'm never gonna be
Jack's Baby,
that's why I'm never gonna see
Jack's Baby.
We'll grow older every day,
hearts get colder,anyway...
Refrain:
That's why I'm never gonna be
