Lyrics

The sun is shining, there's plenty of light
A new day is dawning, sunny and bright
But, after I've been crying all night
The sun is cold and the new day seems old
Since I lost my baby
Oh, since I lost my baby
Ooh, the birds are singing and the children are playing
(Do-ooh-ooh)
There's plenty of work and the bosses are paying
Not a sad word should a young heart be saying
But fun is a bore, and with money I'm poor
Since I lost my baby
(Since I lost my baby)
Oh, since I lost my baby
(My baby)
My baby
(My baby)
Next time I'll be kinder to my baby
Won't you please help me find her?
(I've got to find that girl)
Someone just remind her
(Someone just remind her)
(Someone just remind her)
Of this love she left behind her
(Of me, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Till I find her I'll be trying tot
(Till I find her, I'll be trying to)
Everyday I'm growin' kinder
Tryin'
Inclined to
Find her
Inclined to find my baby
(My baby)
I've been looking everywhere
(My baby)
Yeah, baby I really, really care
My determination is fading fast
So fast, so fast
Exploration is a thing of the past
I can't see how my hope's gonna last
But, good things are bad
(So bad)
And what's happy is sad
So sad, so sad, I'm sad, so sad, so sad
Since I lost my baby
(Since I lost my girl)
Oh, since I lost my baby
(Since I lost my baby)
I feel so bad
(Got to find that girl, I've got to find that girl)
I feel so sad
(Since I lost my, since I lost my)
Yeah
(My, my, my, my baby)
'Cause everything is gone
(Got to find that girl, I've got to find that girl)
And it's hard girl, to carry on, oh, yeah
(Since I lost my, since I lost my, my, my, my, my baby)
I know it's up to me to find that girl
(Got to find that girl, I've got to find that girl)
What's gonna happen to me?
(Since I lost my baby)
What's gonna happen to me?
Oh I don't, I don't know
What I'm gonna do no, no, no, no I don't know
Since I lost my baby
I don't know, I don't know
What to do without my girl, my girl, my girl, I don't know
Since I lost my baby, yeah
(No, no)
I can't find her nowhere
(Don't know)
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
(Since I lost my baby)
Oh, no
(I don't know, since I lost my baby)
Yeah
(Don't know)
I can't find her nowhere
(Don't know)
Nowhere, nowhere
(Since I lost my baby)
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
(I don't know, since I lost my baby, yeah)
(Don't know)
I can't find her nowhere
(I don't know)
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
(Since I lost my baby, I don't know, since I lost my baby, yeah)
(Don't know)
I can't find her nowhere
(Don't know)
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
(Since I lost my baby)
