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?]

[bridge]

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]
