That summer night
The night I will never forget
We took the subway to the
Rock and roll club
Three hours later the ambulance came
And took you away forever
The summer night was hot and sticky
They searched for knives and weapons at the door
We got inside the club, it was packed
People push and shoving on the floor
It would give me kicks to make you jealous
I gave this other guy the eye
I didn't know my head game was a dead game
And that night you were going to die
Baby, baby
Baby, baby
We just went out to have some fun
Baby, baby
Baby, baby
We can't go back 'cause now it's done
Baby, baby
Baby, baby
Now I'm the one who has to pay
Baby, baby
Baby, baby
Since the night they took you away
You pushed this guy and he pushed you back
You knocked him into the amplifier stack
The bouncers came and dragged you both outside
Did you know you were risking your life to save your pride
I begged you to stop and you hit him more
You didn't see his three friends come through the door
Four against one and they had a knife
In ten seconds they put out your life
Baby, baby
Baby, baby
We just went out to have some fun
Baby, baby
Baby, baby
We can't go back 'cause now it's done
Baby, baby
Baby, baby
Now I'm the one who has to pay
Baby, baby
Baby, baby
Since the night they took you away
One year has gone by and the pain is still there
I think I see you everywhere
I can't k** my feeling so I got to k** me
That's the only way that I can be free
Liberation in a hand full of pills
I'm tired of kicks and I'm tired of thrills
One year ago on that summer night
They took you away and now it's time to end the fight
Baby, baby
Baby, baby
We just went out to have some fun
Baby, baby
Baby, baby
We can't go back 'cause now it's done
Baby, baby
Baby, baby
Now I'm the one who has to pay
Baby, baby
Baby, baby
Since the night they took you away
