Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh-ooh-ooh
Oh
Oh, oh-ooh
Sweet love, yeah
[Verse 1]
I didn't mean it when I said I didn't love you so
I should have held on tight, I never shoulda let you go
I didn't know nothin', I was stupid, I was foolish
I was lyin' to myself
I could not fathom that I would ever be without your love
Never imagined I'd be sittin' here beside myself
'Cause I didn't know you, 'cause I didn't know me, but I thought I knew everything
I never felt
[PreChorus]
The feelin' that I'm feelin' now that I don't hear your voice
Or have your touch and kiss your lips 'cause I don't have a choice
Oh, what I wouldn't give to have you lyin' by my side
Right here, 'cause, baby (We belong together)
[Chorus]
When you left, I lost a part of me (Together)
It's still so hard to believe (Come back, come back)
Come back, baby, please (Come back, come back)
'Cause we belong together
Who else am I gon' lean on when times get rough? (Ooh, yeah)
Who's gonna talk to me on the phone till the sun comes up? (Ooh, yeah)
Who's gonna take your place? There ain't nobody better (Ooh, yeah)
Oh, baby, baby, we belong together
[Verse 2]
I can't sleep at night, when you are on my mind
Bobby Womack's on the radio, sayin' to me ("If you think you're lonely now")
Wait a minute, this is too deep (Too deep)
I gotta change the station
So I turn the dial, tryna catch a break
And then I hear Babyface
I only think of you
And it's breakin' my heart
I'm tryna keep it together, but I'm fallin' apart
[PreChorus]
I'm feelin' all out of my element
Throwin' things, cryin', tryna figure out where the hell I went wrong
The pain reflected in this song, it ain't even half of what I'm feelin' inside
I need ya, need ya back in my life, baby (In my life, in my life)
[Chorus]
When you left, I lost a part of me (Together)
And it's still so hard to believe (Come back, come back)
Come back, baby, please (Come back, come back)
'Cause we belong together
Who else am I gon' lean on, when times get rough? (Ooh, yeah)
Who's gonna talk to me on the phone till the sun comes up? (Ooh, yeah)
Who's gonna take your place? There ain't nobody better (Ooh, yeah)
Oh, baby, baby, we belong together (We belong together)
[Chorus]
Baby, when you left, I lost a part of me (We belong together)
It's still so hard to believe (Come back, come back)
Come back baby, please (Come back, come back)
'Cause we belong together (We belong together)
Who am I gonna lean on when times get rough? (Ooh, yeah)
Who's gon' talk to me till the sun comes up? (Ooh, yeah)
Who's gon' take your place? There ain't nobody better (Ooh, yeah)
Oh, baby, baby, we belong together (Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah)
