Baby Seat Lyrics

You left Billy with the kid
And all the selfless things you did with Billy
You left your home town in the spring
And turned your back on everything
You thought your life would just go by
Without a pause to wonder, don't be silly

But you...

    This is a great song and I’m in the belief that they chose the name Billy because it rhymes perfectly with silly.

    It’s about a girl who has slept with a guy named Billy. She tries to walk away from her responsibilities and tries to blame Billy for any pregnancy that might be fall her. Hence “the baby seat” issue.

    Still, the irony of the song (as mentioned earlier) is that she too is responsible for her actions. In other words, Billy and this girl are responsible. In fact, if you notice in the refrain it says “I—“ because she won’t admit “I’m responsible too.”
