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
Ooh and I feel a thrill
You said I do
Hey, and I said I will
I told you to just be true
And give me 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 led you to stray
But ah, me
Hear me now
I don't know what I'm gonna do
Got to get you back somehow
I'm praying, take me back
Consider me please
If you walk in that door, I can get up off my knees
I've just been so blue
Since you've been gone, oh 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?)
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)
