Lyrics
The sun is shining, there's plenty of light
A new day is dawning, sunny and bright
But after I've been crying all night
The sun is cold, and the new day seems old
Since I lost my baby
Oh, since I lost my baby, ooh
The birds are singing and the children are playing (ooh-ooh-ooh)
There's plenty of work, and the bosses are paying
Not a sad word should a young heart be saying, yeah
But fun is a bore, and with money, I'm poor
Since I lost my baby (since I lost my baby)
Oh, since I lost my baby
My baby (my baby), my baby
Next time I'll be kinder (to my baby)
Won't you please help me find her (I've got to find that girl)
Someone just remind (someone just remind), yeah
Of this love she left behind her (of me, ooh-ooh-ooh)
'Til I find her, I'll be trying to ('til I find her, I'll be trying to)
Every day I'm growing kinder
Tryin', inclined to find her
Inclined to find my baby (my baby)
I've been looking everywhere (my baby)
Hey, baby, I really, really care
I care, I care
My determination is fading fast
So fast, so fast
Exploration is a thing of my past
I can't see how my hope's gonna last
But good things are bad (so bad)
And what's happy is sad
So sad, so sad, I'm sad, so sad, so sad
Since I lost my baby (since I lost my girl)
Oh, since I lost my baby (since I lost my baby)
I feel so bad (got to find that girl)
(I've got to find my girl) I feel so sad
(Since I lost my, since I lost my) Yeah
(My, my, my, my baby)
'Cause everything is gone (got to find that girl)
(I've got to find that girl) It's hard, girl, to carry on
(Since I lost my, since I lost my)
(My, my, my, my baby)
I know it's up to me (got to find that girl), ooh
(I've got to find that girl) What's gonna happen to me?
Since I lost my baby
What's gonna happen to me?
Oh, I don't know, I don't know
What I'm gonna do, no, no-no, no
I don't know
Since I lost my baby
I don't know, I don't know
What to do without my girl, my girl, my girl
I don't know
Since I lost my baby, yeah
I can't find her nowhere, nowhere (don't know, don't know)
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere (since I lost my baby)
Oh, no (I don't know)
(Since I lost my baby, yeah) yeah
I can't find her nowhere, nowhere (don't know, don't know)
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere (since I lost my baby)
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere (I don't know)
(Since I lost my baby, yeah)
I can't find her nowhere, nowhere (don't know, don't know)
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere (since I lost my baby)
(I don't know)
(Since I lost my baby, yeah)
