Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I did you wrong, my heart went out to play
But in the game I lost you, what a price to pay
I'm cryin', ooh baby baby, ooh baby baby
[Verse 2]
Mistakes, I know I've made a few
But I'm only human, you've made mistakes too
I'm cryin', ooh baby baby, ooh baby baby
[Verse 3]
I'm just about at the end of my rope
But I can't stop tryin'
I can't give up hope
'Cause I feel one day I'll hold you near
Whisper I still love you
Until that day is here, ooh I'm cryin'
[Verse 4]
Ooh baby baby, ooh baby baby
