Baby baby, sweet baby
|
There's something that I just got to say
|
Baby baby, sweet baby
|
You left me hurtin' in a real cold way
|
|
Speak your name
|
And I'll feel a thrill
|
You said I do
|
And I said I will
|
|
I tell you that I'll stay true
|
and give you just a little time
|
Wait on me baby,
|
I want you to be all mine
|
I just get so blue
|
|
Since you've been gone, baby
|
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)
|
Since you've been gone
|
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)

|
Baby baby, sweet baby
|
I didn't mean to run you away
|
It was pride on my lips,
|
But not in my heart
|
To say the things that made you stray
|
But ah, babe
|
Hear me now
|
(hear me)
|
I don't know what I'm gonna do
|
(hear me)
|
Got to get you back somehow
|
(hear me now)
|
Oooh, take me back,
|
consider me please
|
If you walk in that door,
|
I can get up off my knees
|
I just been so blue
|
|
Since you've been gone
|
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)
|
Since you've been gone
|
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)
|
Well I've been so lonely
|
(sweet sweet - sweet sweet baby)
|
Baby, since you've been gone
|
(sweet sweet - sweet sweet baby)
|
I've been so lonely
|
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)
|
Since you've been gone
|
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)
|
Baby baby baby been so lonely
|
(sweet sweet - sweet sweet baby)
