She called me baby, baby All night long Used to hold and kiss me 'Til the dawn Then one day I woke And she was gone Now there's no more baby, baby All night long She called me baby, baby All night long Kissed my tears away When things went wrong Oh what I'd give if she'd Just come back home And call me baby, baby All night long She called me baby, baby All night long Held me up so high And made me strong Now each night in dreams Just like the song I still hear baby, baby Baby, baby Baby, baby All night long
