Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm sittin' here, staring out the four walls

Thinkin' what is it I gotta do, get back my baby

Lonely's taking over now

And my heart's kinda heavy, so I gotta get back my baby

[Verse 2]

I'm feelin' kinda hopeless now

I shoulda never messed around

You never know what you got

Till the moment that you lose it

I gotta get back my baby

[Verse 3]

My girl, why, tell me what I gotta say now

'Cause I don't really wanna see you wait by

I can't get all this pain in my heart

I swear, I won't lie, soon as you walk out the door

Tell me why, I realized I can't live without you

[Verse 4]

Sittin' here, staring out the four walls

Thinkin' what is it I gotta do, get back my baby

Lonely's taking over now

And my heart's kinda heavy, so I gotta get back my baby

[Verse 5]

I'm feelin' kinda hopeless now

Shoulda never messed around

You never know what you got

Till the moment that you lose it

I gotta get back my baby

[Verse 6]

As she cries, tellin' me that the truth

I can't deny

Won't deny, all my band to lead

Best to give it a try

[Verse 7]

Stop, good bye

She won't even look me in the eye

Baby, I love and love you

I'd do anything, girl

[Verse 8]

Sittin' here, staring out the four walls

Thinkin' what is it I gotta do, get back my baby

Lonely's taking over now

And my heart's kinda heavy, so I gotta get back my baby

[Verse 9]

I'm feelin' kinda hopeless now

Shoulda never messed around

You never know what you got

Till the moment that you lose it

I gotta get back my baby

[Verse 10]

At night I wonder

How did I commit such blunder

Now the pain's taken me under

And she deleted my number

Nightmare, I woke from a slumber

I'm thinkin' baby, what should I say

Tell me where have you gone

Baby, when you comin' home?

I need you by my side, on my throne

As I grow weak

Without you, girl, I'm incomplete

I'll do anything just to make it up to you

[Verse 11]

Sittin' here, staring out the four walls

Thinkin' what is it I gotta do, get back my baby

Lonely's taking over now

And my heart's kinda heavy, so I gotta get back my baby

[Verse 12]

I'm feelin' kinda hopeless now

Shoulda never messed around

You never know what you got

Till the moment that you lose it

I gotta get back my baby
