Ooo, baby, ooo baby girl, oOo Ooo If I had been there to wipe your tears Than no one else would be around If I had been there to cradle your fears We'd still be together now, now Wish I could be there to share your dreams I wish that I could still be down But now you're gone and I'm here alone And I sure do regret it, now, oh, yes I do, said, I really do, I'm missing you Baby, I should've known Should've cared just a little bit more I shouldn't have listened to a word from the fellas I shouldn't have let my sweetie go Baby, I, I want you to know If I could take it back, you know that I would I'd give anything to get things back Now that I know, all the thing I should've known Should've been there with my baby every night Better kissing her and holding her so tight How I wish that I could be with you right now I'd give anything, just to see you smile, smile But I'm all alone and the 'should haves' and the words They won't bring you back and I'm the one to blame I didn't know how to act or save the love And I do regret it now Baby, I should've known Should've cared just a little bit more I shouldn't have listened to a word from the fellas I shouldn't have let my sweetie go Baby, I, I want you to know If I could take it back, you know that I would I'd give anything to get things back Now that I know, all the thing I should've known I promise I won't ignore you You'll never, never ever be alone Lean on me as your shoulder
