(sweet, sweet baby) since you've been gone

baby

baby

sweet baby

there's just something that i got to say

baby

baby

sweet baby

you left me hurting in a real cold way

and i speak your name

i feel a thrill

you said i do

and i said i will

i tell you to love me

too

and give me just a little time

wait on me

baby

i want you to be on my mind

i just feel so blue

since you've been gone

mmm

since you've been gone

baby

baby

sweet baby

i didn't mean to run you away

it was pride on my lips

but not in my heart

to say the things that the angels say

but all day

hear me now

i don't know what i'm doing

got to get you back somehow

i'm crying take me back

consider me please

if you walk in that door i can get up off my knees

i've just been so blue

since you've been gone

yes

and i've been so lonely

since you've been gone

don't you know me?

and i've been so lonely
