Lyrics
Lights (lights)
Camera, acción
Lights (lights)
Camera, acción
You say you a bad guy
You-you-you a bad guy
That's why everyone likes you
They say that you're so fun
And you're so cool
They call you baby blue
'Cause it's your favorite color, boy
I'm not every other little girl, he knows that too
A-a-a-a-a-and they call you baby blue
'Cause it's your favorite color
A-a-a-a-a-and they call you baby boy
Because they like you, ooh
('Cause they like you)
(Like you, like you)
(Just like I do)
It's not a joke
How much I like you
I know I play it off
But I lie to you
You say, "hi"
Say, "hi, boo."
Everyone knows
Why I do what I do
The city is dangerous
I need your kiss to survive
The city is my dirtiest
I would advise, ice is
Ice is icing, babe
How much I'm liking you
(Rock, rock, baby)
(Throw the money)
(Come and save me)
(Rock, rock, baby)
(Throw the money)
(Come and save me)
(Rock, rock, baby)
(You don't want)
(Come and save me, rock)
Baby blue, baby blue
(Baby blue)
'Cause it's your favorite color, ah
Oh, baby blue
You're always so high
You such a tough guy
What happened to the boy I knew?
How come we got so bad?
Remember what we had
Remember now, baby blue
A-a-a-a-a-and they call you baby blue
'Cause it's your favorite color
A-a-a-a-a-and they call you baby boy
Because they like you, ooh
('Cause they like you)
(Like you, like you)
(Just like I do)
The city is dangerous
I need your kiss to survive
The city is my dirtiest
I would advise, ice is
Ice is icing, babe
How much I’m liking you
(Rock, rock, baby)
(Throw the money)
(Come and save me)
(Rock, rock, baby)
(Throw the money)
(Come and save me)
(Rock, rock, baby)
(You don't want)
(Come and save me, rock)
Baby blue
