Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I, I wonder who
Gonna be your sweet man when I'm gone
I wonder who
Gonna be your sweet man when I'm gone
I wonder who, baby
Gonna be carryin' my lovin' on
[Verse 2]
You know if you find, you know if you find
You know if you find, you know if you find
You know if you find a new love, baby, won't you please tell me so
Well, it might break my heart but still I want to know
[Verse 3]
And if the flame, I say if the flame
You hear me, if the flame, don't you know if the flame
If the flame in your heart only burns true love for me
Well, don't you let nobody turn their backs on me
[Verse 4]
You know when I, I say when I
You know when I, I want you to know when I
When I lost my baby, lost the best friend I ever had
And if I don't find my baby, hey, hey, hey, it's gonna drive me mad, yeah
