since youve been gone (sweet sweet baby)
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) Oh, 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)
