I think that this song is about giving your child away for adoption, from the point of view of the one who is giving their baby away.
Ok, well, this is pretty much how I have dechiphered it; a young girl who became pregnant, but was not able to keep her child...as much as it hurt her. And now she can never forget her, she always thinks of her. Watches her walk home ( from school ) --'Yesterday was another day, when I Saw your baby, walkin' home alone'.
Possibly calling the house of residence just to hang up. --' I'm feelin' sorry, I called you but I, I guess that I forgot your name'. ..
And this could possibly be a reference to the actual birth? --'But she's just like lightning, She goes right through you, Then you know you'll never Be the same'.
Technically she is the childs parent, but legally the child now belongs to another. --
' She's my baby, Ain't that something, But I know that she belongs to you, She belongs to you '.
Shrug. Reread the lyrics with this thought in mind, maybe it will make sense to you as well.
Plus, in the video, there is a glimps of a little girl holding a doll....
