Where Did My Baby Go Lyrics

I happened to notice a girl in a light shade of blue
I happened to see her, the sight of her leaves me confused
She may not be you
But she looks just like you

You should've seen the way she wore her dress
And her white stiletto shoes
You should've seen the way they looked on her
Just like the ones that I bought you
I searched for days on end to no avail
‘Til I found them in Peru
She must've been to Lima just as well
Because she had them too
You should've seen her eyes, her lips, her face
She looked as sweet as honeydew
You should've seen the way she walked away
Oh, she swayed her hips like you
I was only several steps from her
But she never noticed me
I took another sip of fine liqueur
It was quite a sight to see

I happened to notice a girl in a light shade of blue
I happened to see her, the sight of her leaves me confused
She may not be you
But she looks just like you

You should've seen the way he stroked her hair
And the smile that lit her face
You should've seen the way he kissed her lips
Did it have the same sweet taste?
Though my mid, it might be running wild
In constant search of you
It's funny how my eyes keep seeing things my heart
Would not believe are true

I happened to notice a man in a dark shade of blue
Who happened to be with a woman who leaves me confused
She may not be you
But she looks just like you

Maxine, she looks just like you
Maxine, she looks just like you
Maxine, Maxine

Where Did My Baby Go

Several critics have commented that this song sounds like something written by Burt Bacharach. However, Legend told Performing Songwriting magazine that any similarities were accidental. "I'm not really a student of his work," he said. "He was a prolific songwriter, and there are songs of his that I didn't even know I knew, like songs sung by Luther Vandross and Aretha Franklin. But I don't own any of his albums. It just so happened that I end up sounding like him."

"You listen to music and use it to try to create something new, and who knows what's going to come into your head," Legend continued."A song is a song. You produce a song, and at that moment when you produce it, that's when you take it into a genre. Before you produce it, it's just a song, and it could be any style depending on how you decide to mix it and arrange it. To me, when you evaluate songwriting, you don't do it on a genre basis. You ask, 'Is this a good song?'"
