The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's been a lot of talk around
That you've been seen with a certain party
And now I'm so afraid I'm losing you.
Oh baby, don't tell me you don't want my love,
I couldn't give it to just anybody.
Baby, won't you say it isn't true.
Don't leave me, baby,
Don't tell me it's over,
After I trusted you and did my best
To make you happy!
Is this what I get for loving you, baby ?
Is this what I get for loving you, baby ?
There was a night when you held me tight
And you said you'd always love me ...
You said you'd always need me ...
What will there be left for me ?
It's such a cruel world to be alone in.
I always needed you to look out for me.
Oh baby, I'm gonna miss your loving arms
'Cause they're the only arms I feel at home in.
Don't you know how lonely I'm gonna be ?
Don't leave me, baby,
Don't tell me it's over,
After I trusted you and did my best
To make you happy!
Is this what I get for loving you, baby ?
Is this what I get for loving you, baby ?
There was a night when you held me tight
And you said you'd always love me ...
You said you'd always need me ...
What will there be left for me ?
It's such a cruel world to be alone in.
I always needed you to look out for me.
Oh baby, I'm gonna miss your loving arms
'Cause they're the only arms I feel at home in.
Don't you know how lonely I'm gonna be ?
Don't leave me, baby,
Don't tell me it's over,
After I trusted you and did my best
To make you happy!
Is this what I get for loving you, baby ?
Is this what I get for loving you, baby ?
There was a night when you held me tight
And you said you'd always love me ...
You said you'd always need me ...
