  • My baby loves me like a saint
    My baby hates when I'm away
    My baby wants a baby
    How can I go on?

    What in the world (what in the world)
    Would my baby say?
    "I got your eyes and your mistakes"
    You make a home (you make a home)
    I run away
    And the story starts again
    Then I couldn't stay in bed all day
    I couldn't leave like my daddy
    And I wouldn't be your only baby anymore

    My baby's closer than a shave
    My baby's blue when I dye grays
    My baby wants a baby
    How can it be wrong, wrong?
    But I wanna play guitar all day
    Make all my meals in microwaves
    Only dress up if I get paid
    How can it be wrong, wrong?

    What in the world, what in the world
    Would my baby say?
    "I got your eyes and your mistakes"
    I wanna run, I wanna run
    I wanna chase the ending I can't see
    Then I won't have no legacy
    'Cause I won't write no symphonies
    Won't have no streets named after me
    Won't even have your sympathy
    No one will scream that song I made
    Won't throw no roses on my grave
    They'll just look at me and say
    "Where's your baby?" Writer/s: Annie Clark, Jack Antonoff
