Baby, oh, baby

Tell the man at the ticket stand
That you've changed your mind
Well, let me run on out and tell the cab
To keep the meter flying

'Cause if you say goodbye to me, baby
You know you're gonna break my mind

Break my mind, break my mind
I know I just can't stand to hear
The big jet engines whine

Break my mind, break my mind, oh, Lord
If you leave you're gonna leave
A babbling fool behind

Baby, oh, baby

Let me take your suitcase off
Of them scales in time
Tell the man that you suddenly developed
A thing about flying

'Cause if you say goodbye to me, baby
You know you're gonna break my mind

Break my mind, break my mind
I know I just can't stand to hear
The big jet engines whine

Break my mind, break my mind, oh, Lord
'Cause if you leave you're gonna leave
A babbling fool behind

Break my mind, break my mind
I know, I just can't stand to hear
The big jet engines whine

Break my mind, break my mind, oh, Lord
If you leave you're gonna leave
A babbling fool behind

If you leave you're gonna leave yourself
A babbling fool behind
If you leave you're gonna leave
A babbling fool behind
