Baby, baby, won't you please
Help me in my time of need.
What I need to see me through
Only your sweet love can do.
Oh, you know we hurt each other so
Oh, baby, baby please don't go.
Baby, I have been so cruel
Expecting you to play the fool
And now I think I understand
What it means to be your man.
Oh, only love is worth this pain
Oh, come on, let's try again.
Oh, the pain and sorrows
Waiting for tomorrows.
I know how you felt now,
Come on let's work it out somehow.
Baby, baby love can't last,
Come on let's work out the past.
That's how much it means to me,
I want to be your family.
Oh, only love is worth this pain
Oh, come on, let's try again.
Oh, the pain and sorrows
Waiting for tomorrows.
I know how you felt now,
Come on let's work it out somehow.
