Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Once I had a man, sweet as he could be
Once I had a man and he was right for me
Kind of curly hair, eyes so soft and true
That you couldn't help but care when he looked at you
He called me "baby", "baby" all the time
[Verse 2]
He said, "Baby can't you see?
Baby, understand
Baby, you're for me
Oh, won't you take my hand?"
But I pushed him away
Wouldn't let him near
Pushed him far away
And now I'm wishing I could hear him
Call me "baby", "baby" all the time
[Verse 3]
It's so lonely through the day, lonely through the night
Lonely, lonely hours without that man I held so tight
Lord, I pray that You will listen to my plea
Keep him close to You so he'll come back to me
And call me "baby", "baby" all the time
[Verse 4]
Baby, baby all the time
Baby, baby of all the the time
