(Sweet Sweet Baby) Since You've Been Gone

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)
