Baby baby, sweet baby
Thereґs something that I just got to say
Baby baby, sweet baby
You left me hurtinґ in a real cold way

Speak your name
And Iґll feel a thrill
You said I do
And I said I will

I tell you that Iґll stay [bad word] And give you just a little time
Wait on me baby,
I want you to be all mine
I just get so blue

Since youґve been gone, baby
(whyґd you do it? whyґd you have to do it?)
Since youґve been gone
(whyґd you do it? whyґd you have to do it?)

(bridge)

Baby baby, sweet baby
I didnґt mean [bad word] 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 donґt know what Iґm 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 youґve been gone
(whyґd you do it? whyґd you have to do it?)
Since youґve been gone
(whyґd you do it? whyґd you have to do it?)
Well Iґve been so lonely
(sweet sweet - sweet sweet baby)
Baby, since youґve been gone
(sweet sweet - sweet sweet baby)
Iґve been so lonely
(whyґd you do it? whyґd you have to do it?)
Since youґve been gone
