Lyrics

[Verse 1]

When something is wrong with my baby

Something is wrong with me

And if I know she's worried (Oh-whoa, yeah)

Then I would feel that same misery

[PreChorus]

We've been through so much together

We stand as one

And that's what makes it better

[Chorus]

When something is wrong with my baby

Something is wrong with me

[Verse 2]

Now listen

Just what, uh-huh, she means to me now

Oh, you just wouldn't, you just wouldn't understand

People can say she's no good

But oh, she's my woman

And I know I'm her man

[PreChorus]

And if she's got a problem

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, ooh-oh

I know, I know I got to help her solve 'em

[Chorus]

When something is wrong with my baby (Sho' nuff)

Something is wrong with me

[Outro]

Now, say that again

When something is wrong with my baby (Ah-ah, hey)

Something is wrong with me

Oh hey, yeah
