Well, Baby Lyrics

I know I'm not like the other mums

Who hang around the gates at school

I'm not confident and capable

I'm not the very definition of cool

'Cause you see I wasn't made that way

I was brought up on abuse and pain

And though I try to pretend I'm fine

It's still haunting my messed-up brain

I do all I can

To hide it from you

But sometimes I think

That you see through

Well, baby

You know that I'm not well, baby

You know I've been to hell and back

And I'm scorched charcoal black

Though my soul is the colour blue

Well, baby

I'd catch you if you fell, baby

I'm trying to be well for sure

'Cause you're all I adore

So I'm sticking around for you

I know I'm not like the other mums

Who hang around and gossip together

I've never been good at making friends

Or making small talk about the weather

'Cause you see I wasn't raised that way

I spent my whole entire childhood alone

And I never knew whether it felt worse

To be hated at school or at home

I do all I can

To hide it from you

But sometimes I think

That you know the truth

Well, baby

You know that I'm not well, baby

You know I've been to hell and back

And I'm scorched charcoal black

Though my soul is the colour blue

Well, baby

I'd catch you if you fell, baby

I'm trying to be well for sure

'Cause you're all I adore

So I'm sticking around for you

You don't need to worry about me

'Cause I'm stable as a mummy can be

Got these pills that keep the sadness away

And with you I know that I'll be okay

Well, baby

You know that I'm not well, baby

You know I've been to hell and back

And I'm scorched charcoal black

Though my soul is the colour blue

Well, baby

I'd catch you if you fell, baby

I'm trying to be well for sure

'Cause you're all I adore

So I'm sticking around for you

Well, baby

You know that I'm not well, baby

You know I've been to hell and back

And I'm scorched charcoal black

Though my soul is the colour blue

Well, baby

I'd catch you if you fell, baby

I'm trying to be well for sure

'Cause you're all I adore

So I'm sticking around for you
