(Ooh, ooh, sweet love, yeah) I didn't mean it When I said I didn't love you, so I should have held on tight I never shoulda let you go I didn't know nothing I was stupid, I was foolish I was lying to myself I could not fathom that I would ever Be without your love Never imagined I'd be Sitting here beside myself 'Cause I didn't know you 'Cause I didn't know me But I thought I knew everything I never felt The feeling that I'm feeling Now that I don't hear your voice Or have your touch and kiss your lips 'Cause I don't have a choice Oh, what I wouldn't give To have you lying by my side Right here, cause baby (We belong together) When you left I lost a part of me It's still so hard to believe Come back baby, please 'Cause we belong together Who else am I gon' lean on When times get rough Who's gonna talk to me on the phone Till the sun comes up Who's gonna take your place There ain't nobody better Oh, baby baby, we belong together I can't sleep at night When you are on my mind Bobby Womack's on the radio Saying to me "If you think you're lonely now" Wait a minute This is too deep (too deep) I gotta change the station So I turn the dial Trying to catch a break And then I hear Babyface I only think of you And it's breaking my heart I'm trying to keep it together But I'm falling apart I'm feeling all out of my element I'm throwing things, crying Trying to figure out Where the hell I went wrong The pain reflected in this song It ain't even half of what I'm feeling inside I need you Need you back in my life, baby When you left I lost a part of me It's still so hard to believe Come back baby, please 'Cause we belong together Who else am I gon' lean on When times get rough Who's gonna talk to me on the phone Till the sun comes up Who's gonna take your place There ain't nobody better Oh, baby baby, we belong together, baby When you left I lost a part of me It's still so hard to believe Come back baby, please 'Cause we belong together Who am I gonna lean on When times get rough Who's gonna talk to me Till the sun comes up Who's gonna take your place There ain't nobody better Oh baby, baby We belong together
