Last week my life had meaning It was beautiful and so sweet. But now it's nothing, nothing without you, baby My whole world is incomplete 'Cause I can't see you no more That was all that you said, baby. But you just might as well have Placed a gun to my head. [Chorus:] Baby, baby, why did you do it? My whole world ended the moment you left me Oh baby My whole world ended the moment you left me It tumbled to the ground baby. Did you ever mean those sweet things That you used to say? Have a house and a lovely, a lovely daughter, And a little baby some day. Where did I go wrong, honey? Whatever changed your mind, baby? I've asked myself these questions Over a million times. [Chorus] Now my body is numb It feels so senseless to the touch. My life is wasted, wasted without you I guess I loved you much too much. How can I face tomorrow When yesterday is all I see? I just don't want to face tomorrow honey If you're not sharing it with me. Baby, baby, oh baby My whole world ended...
