Lyrics

Baby, baby, baby don't leave me.
Ooh, please don't leave me all by myself.
I've got this burning, burning, yearning feelin' inside me.
Ooh, deep inside me and it hurts so bad.
You came into my heart (baby, baby) so tenderly,
With a burning love (baby, baby)
That stings like a bee (baby, baby).
Now that I surrender (baby, baby) so helplessly,
You now want to leave (baby, baby).
Ooh, you wanna leave me (baby, baby).
Ooh (baby, baby).
Baby, baby, where did our love go?
Ooh, don't you want me?
Don't you want me no more (baby, baby)?
Ooh, baby.
Baby, baby, where did our love go?
And all your promises of a love forevermore!
I've got this burning, burning, yearning feelin' inside me.
Ooh, deep inside me, and it hurts so bad.
Before you won my heart (baby, baby)
You were a perfect guy.
But now that you got me,
You wanna leave me behind (baby, baby).
Ooh, baby.
Baby, baby, baby don't leave me.
Ooh, please don't leave me all by myself (baby, baby).
Ooh.
