Who's been here, since I been gone?
Little white boy, tryin' to do me wrong
Tryin' to love my baby, tryin' to love my baby
Well, I don't care, what the people say
I gonna love my baby, any old way
Don't you need me, baby?
Don't you need me, baby?
Don't you need me, baby?
Don't you need me, baby?
People in the neighborhood, tryin' to tell me things
But I don't care what the people say
I gotta keep my baby, any old way
I gotta keep my baby, I gotta keep my baby
Moanin' and groanin, talkin' outta my head
Feel so bad, sometimes I wish I was dead
'Cause I love my baby, Lord, I love my baby
Think I'm gonna blow my horn
Tell me that you love me, don't tell my no lies
Lord, I don't want to hear it,
I would rather die
I just love you, baby
I just love you, baby
