Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song while thinking about an old relationship.
Song Description
Did you ever see an old flame and think, wow how did I ever let that one get away? I think we all had that experience at one time or another in our lives. Sometimes after a few really bad relationships you look back and think, maybe I should have stayed with that one. They weren't so bad after-all.

Lyrics
"HEY BABE"
BY RUSTY NEWCOMER
3/13/78
HEY BABE, WHATCHA DOIN' NOW? I SEE YOU STILL DON'T KNOW.
TELL ME IT'S A DIFFERENT WORLD, I'LL TELL YOU I SURE DO KNOW.
YOU KNOW WE BOTH BEEN AROUND.
WE BOTH KNOW IT'S HARD TO BE FOUND.
BUT HONEY DON'T LOOK NO MORE,
IT'S AT YOUR DOOR.
TAKE MY HAND, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT IS TRUE.
AND WHAT MY MIND HAS HELD IN STORE FOR YOU.
JUST SQUEEZE ME TIGHT AND SAY THAT'S NOTHING NEW.
MAKE IT CLEAR HON, MAKE IT CLEAR.
BABY OH BABY, YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE.
IT'S A DIFFERENT WORLD WHEN I'M WITH YOU.
YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW AND I KNOW IT TOO.
I'LL NEVER FIND ANYONE QUITE LIKE YOU.
I OFTEN THOUGHT THAT LOVE WAS JUST SO FAR AWAY.
AND EVEN WONDERED IF IT COULD REALLY STAY.
AND NOW I FEEL LIKE I NEVER FELT BEFORE.
SHOULD I RUN, SHOULD I STAY FOREVER MORE.
BABY OH BABY, YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE.
IT'S A DIFFERENT WORLD WHEN I'M WITH YOU.
YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW AND I KNOW IT TOO.
I'LL NEVER FIND ANYONE QUITE LIKE YOU.
NOW BABE, YOU KNOW WHAT'S ON MY MIND. TELL ME YOU WANT IT TOO.
WHY CHANGE A WORLD YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND, WHEN YOU CAN BUILD A WORLD JUST FOR YOU.
