Baby Is Breakin' Down My Walls

That baby is breakin’ down my walls
She’s crawlin’ and ballin’ and tearing down my walls
I’m crying and trying to reason with her
She just won’t stop breakin’ down my walls
She’s crashin’ and smashin’ and bashin’
She’ll leave me broken and open and raw
She’s ruthless and guileless and cruel
When she’s breakin down my walls
I’m crying and trying to stop their fall
But I’m still dying
I’m still crying
That baby broke down my walls
