Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You left me for another

You told me he was your lover

So I'm begging and I'm pleading

And I'm drown on bended knee, whoa, baby

That's what my heart need

[Verse 2]

Baby, oh, baby

I'm calling you out loud and clear, baby

Oh, baby

I love you, yes I do

And I wanna be near you, oh, baby

That's what my heart need

[Verse 3]

Darling, my, my darling

I need you here right by my side, baby, darling

If you hadn't left that day

Then my love wouldn't be this way, whoa, baby

That's what my heart need

[Verse 4]

Come on, my baby

I said, "I need you right here by my side"

I said, "I need you, baby"

I need you here to protect me and be my guide

And oh, oh, yeah, yeah, baby

I know, I know you don't know what I mean, baby

And oh, baby, yeah, hey, baby

Hey, hey, baby

Come on, come on and love me, baby, Lord

Come on, come on and be right by my side

And oh, come on, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby
