There goes my baby
Moving on down the line
Wonder where, wonder where
She is bound
I broke her heart
and made her cry
Now I'm alone
So all alone
What can I do, what can I do...
what can I do...
There goes my baby
(whoa)
There goes my baby
(yeah)
There goes my baby
(Whoa)
There she goes
Yeah I wanna know
Did she love me
Did she really love me
Was she just playin
Me for a fool
I wonder why she left me
Why did she leave me
So all alone, so all alone
I...just wanna tell her
That I love her
and that I need her
Beside my side
To be my guide
I wanna know
Where is my...
Where is my baby...
I want my baby...
I need my baby...
Yeah...oohh
