Ooh baby [2x]
Bereaved lady
Ooh baby
Ooh baby [2x]
He carved you like a stone
Then left your side
Stop [2x]
Ooh baby
Slow steady
Heaven's waiting
For you baby
Ooh baby [2x]
He took your soul
And left you out to dry
Stop
Now, you're home free at last
And the cracking whip
That howled
And scarred your back
Has stopped
Ooh it stopped
Ooh baby [2x]
Love baby
Your, your only crime
Ooh baby
Stop [2x]
Ooh baby [2x]
Love baby
Your, your only crime
Ooh baby
Stop [2x]
