Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Last night
I lost the best friend I ever had
Last night
I lost the best friend I ever had
Now you've gone and left me
You know that's gonna hurt me so
[Verse 2]
I have blues, what a feeling
That's one thing I can't describe
I have blues, what a feeling
That's one thing I can't describe
Well, you was my first love
And you shoulda have been my wife
[Verse 3]
I want you to call me tomorrow
Baby, and tell me what's goin' all wrong
I want you to call me tomorrow
And tell me what's goin' all wrong
I wonder, why did you leave me?
Baby, please come on back home
[Verse 4]
I'm in love with you, baby
And I don't care what the people say
I'm in love with you, baby
And I don't care what the people say
Well, I want you, I need you, baby
If you want to have your way
