Lyrics

[Intro]
Child, have you heard the latest?
Uh-oh, what's goin' on now?
About Sylvester breakin' up
Uh-uh, he done broke up with, um?
Girl, it's a mess
Uh-oh, you gotta tell me 'bout this one
Honey, he tell you better than I can
Sylvester, tell me 'bout this please, honey
Girl, I'm in the dark just like you
I really don't know what happened
I got this letter and I ran to the telephone
Picked it up and dialed the number
And then was disconnected with no referral
[Chorus]
Was it somethin' that I said? (Was it somethin' that I said?)
Was it somethin' that you heard? (Was it somethin' that you heard? Yeah)
Why you treatin' me so bad? (Why you treatin' me so bad?)
I was the best man that you had, mm
Child, I was so through
I went trackin' down the number
Called the information, couldn't get nothin'
And like I said girl, I don't know what's goin' on
'Cause like I said, I thought I had my thing together
[Chorus]
Was it somethin' that I said? (Was it somethin' that I said, babe?)
Was it somethin' that you heard? (Was it somethin' you heard? Yeah)
Why are you treatin' me so bad? (Oh, stop treatin' me so bad)
I was the best man that you had, mm
Now, I think I deserve at least a two-weeks notice
After all the things we did and all the good times we had
I mean, I can't just throw 'em away like that with no explanation
And you won't tell me what happened
Now I'm gon' ask you one more time
[Chorus]
Was it somethin' that I said? (Was it somethin' that I said?)
Was it somethin' that you heard? (Was it somethin' that you heard?)
Mm, why you treatin' me so bad? (Why you treatin' me so bad?)
I was the best thing that you had
Now, I want you to just think about what I just said
While the music just moves and grooves
[Instrumental]
Mhm
[Outro]
'Cause I love you
And I need
Need you, baby, yes, I do
I love you, ooh
And I need you
Ooh, ooh, baby
Why'd you do it to me? (Baby)
Why'd you do it to me? (Baby)
Ooh-wee, baby (Baby)
Oh, I love you
And I still need you (Baby)
Mm (Baby)
(My sweet baby)
Oh (Baby)
My sweet thing (Baby)
Come on home, baby (Baby)
Oh, I love you, I need you, I need you, I need you
[Instrumental]
Baby (My)
Baby (Sweet)
Baby (Oh, baby)
Baby (Ooh)
Baby (My sweet baby)
Baby
Baby (My sweet baby)
Baby (My, my, my, my)
Baby
Baby
