I wonder where, I wonder where
Expressing curiosity about the baby's destination or future actions.
She will bound, she will bound, man
Wondering where the baby will end up or what choices she will make.
I broke her heart, man, baby
Admitting to causing emotional pain to the baby and making her cry.
And I made her cry

I'm so all alone, and I'm so all alone?

Forgot to tell her that I love her

And when did I believe here?
