Who would've known, the wind and the sunshine Would oh baby, baby Build up these walls of mine And I can't see you or breathe you Cause there's trouble right beneath you It's all in the night But oh baby, baby Come pick me up in your ride I'm a cool low Jane With the skip on my feet I play tough as nails With my heart on my sleeve I'm nothing but a sand castle Baby don't blow me away, away Baby I know, you do that to all the girls You know that I'm fragile, oh Bay ba ba ba baby, don't blow me away Baby I know, you do that to all the girls You know that I'm fragile, oh Bay ba ba ba baby, don't blow me away Who would've known, the storm of my past time Would oh baby, make me Losing the song of the eye And I can't believe you or read you Cause there's pleasure in your preview It's all in your eyes But oh Mr. DJ, baby Can you meet me outside You're an old school dude With the kick on ya shoes You've got groove in ya hands The way you spend those tunes I'm nothing but a sandcastle Baby don't blow me away, away Baby I know, you do that to all the girls Baby I'm fragile, oh Bay ba ba ba baby, don't blow me away Baby I know, you do that to all the girls You know that I'm fragile, oh Bay ba ba ba baby, don't blow me away Ooh, and just like the ocean Lays right there behind me Look over my sandcastle And there's a sight to see Don't blow me away Don't blow me baby Ooh baby I know, you do that to all the girls You know that I'm fragile, oh Bay ba ba ba baby, don't blow me away Baby I know, you do that to all the girls You know that I'm fragile, oh Bay ba ba ba baby, please don't blow me away Away, away Away, away Away, away
