Why, why baby
Why did you leave?
Look how long we've been carrying on
We've been uniting, undoing our wrongs
Trying so hard to be good all along
Now you hurt, I says you hurt my pride, why, why baby?
Why, why darling
Why did you go?
For the love of the lord
I beg you to return
Please, please, baby, please
Don't, don't let my heart burn, burn
Why, why darling
Why did you go?
For the love of the lord
I beg you to return
Please, please, baby, please
Don't, don't let my heart burn, burn
Why, why baby?
Why did you leave me standing all alone
Like a little child, lonely, baby
Lonely am I, I've waited for you...
Why did you leave?
Look how long we've been carrying on
We've been uniting, undoing our wrongs
Trying so hard to be good all along
Now you hurt, I says you hurt my pride, why, why baby?
Why, why darling
Why did you go?
For the love of the lord
I beg you to return
Please, please, baby, please
Don't, don't let my heart burn, burn
Why, why darling
Why did you go?
For the love of the lord
I beg you to return
Please, please, baby, please
Don't, don't let my heart burn, burn
Why, why baby?
Why did you leave me standing all alone
Like a little child, lonely, baby
Lonely am I, I've waited for you...
