Oooh La La La La
I did you wrong
my heart went out to play
& in the game I lost you
what a price to pay
I'm cryin'
Oooh Baby, Baby
Oooh Baby, Baby
Mistakes I know I've made a few
But I'm only human
You've made mistakes too
I'm cryin'
Oooh Baby Baby
Oooh Baby Baby
Ooo Baby Baby
Oooh Baby Baby
I'm just about at the end of my rope
But I can't stop tryin'
I can't give up hope
'Cause I'll be here
And someday I'll hold you near
Whisper I still love you
Until that day is here
I'm cryin'
Oooh Baby Baby
Oooh Baby Baby
Oooh Baby Baby
Oooooooooooh Oooooooooh Baby Baby
Ooooooooooohoooooooooooooo
