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.
Where did it go, my baby, where did it go, my darling
Tell me how to get you back in my heart again
Girl I must have been crazy, to say that it was over
I had to be a fool, to yell out we were through
And now I'm all lonely and feeling down and out, baby
When I never meant for this to end
It was so, so crazy of me
Sometimes a man can say things that he really don't mean
Well I'm sorry baby, bring your lovin' back to me
I can't sleep babe, I can't think babe
I can't live babe, without you in my life
I can't go on babe, this is my song baby
Don't wanna do nothin' if I go away baby
And I can't do nothin' if you're not around, baby
Can we meet somewhere and talk about it
Oh, baby, can we work it out
I'm not going to let you go, my baby
Before I let you know that I
I can't sleep babe no way, I can't think babe
I can't live babe, without you in my life
Don't want to go on babe, this is my song baby
I Don't wanna do nothin' if I...I can't be with you, baby
I can't sleep babe, I can't sleep, I can't think babe
I don't think that I can ever live...
Just the thought of you being gone
Keeps me up all night long, oh-oh
I don't think that I could ever live
I can't live babe, there's just no way that I...
Oh, oh, oh, oh...babe
Can't gone on, this is my song
