Lyrics
Baby, baby
Baby don’t leave me
Ooh, please don’t leave me
All by myself
I’ve got this burnin’, burnin
Yearnin’ feelin’ inside me
Ooh, deep inside me
And it hurts so bad
You came into my heart (Baby, baby)
So tenderly (Where did our love go?)
With a burning love (Baby, baby)
That stings like a bee (Baby, baby)
(Ooh baby, baby)
Now that I surrender (Baby, baby)
So helplessly (Where did our love go?)
You now wanna leave (Baby, baby)
Ooh, you wanna leave me (Baby, baby)
Ooh, baby, baby (Baby, baby)
Where did our love go?
Ooh, don’t you want me? (Baby, baby)
Don’t you want me no more? (Baby, baby)
Ooh, baby (Ooh baby, baby)
Baby, baby
Where did our love go?
And all of your promisses (Baby, baby)
Of a love forever more (Baby, baby)(Ooh baby, baby)
I’ve got this burnin’, burnin’ (Baby, baby)
Yearnin’ feelin’ inside me (Where did our love go?)
Ooh, deep inside me (Baby, baby)
And it hurts so bad (Baby, baby)(Ooh baby, baby)
Before you won my heart (Baby, baby)
You were a perfect guy (Where did our love go?)
But now that you got me (Baby, baby)
You wanna leave me behind (Baby, baby)
Ooh, baby, baby (Baby, baby)
Baby don’t leave me (Where did our love go?)
Ooh, please don’t leave me (Baby, baby)
All by myself (Baby, baby)
Ooh, baby, baby (Baby, baby)
Where did our love go?
