You left me, for another
You told me, he was your lover
So I'm begging and I'm pleading
And I'm down on any knee, ooh baby

Ooh baby
I love you, yes I do
And I want on meeting you, ooh baby
That's what my heart needs

I need you here right by my side, baby, darling
If you hadn't left that day

That's what my heart needs

Come on baby

I said I need you baby
I need you here to protect me and be my guide
And ooh, baby, yeah baby
I know you don't know what I mean, baby
Ooh, baby, yeah, hey baby
Hey hey baby
Come on, come on and love me, baby, lord
Come on, come on and be right by my side
Hey, come on
