Lyrics for Twilight

Haven't laughed this hard in a long time I better stop now before I start crying Go off to sleep in the sunshine I don't want to see the day when it's dying She's a sight to see (sight to see) She's good to me (good to me) But I'm already somebody's baby She's a pretty thing (a pretty thing) And she knows everything (everything) But I'm already somebody's baby You don't deserve to be lonely But those drugs you got won't make you feel better Pretty soon you'll find it's the only Little part of your life you're keeping together I'm nice to you (nice to you) I could make it through (make it through) But you're already somebody's baby I could make you smile (make you smile) If you stayed a while (stayed a while) But how long will you stay with me, baby? Because your candle burns too bright Well, I almost forgot it was twilight Even if I think that you are right Well, I'm tired of being down, I got no fight You're wonderful (wonderful) When it's beautiful (beautiful) But I'm already somebody's baby And if I went with you (went with you) I'd disappoint you too (disappoint you too) Well, I'm already somebody's baby Already somebody's baby
