Once I had a gal,
As sweet as she could be.
Once I had a gal,
And she was right for me.
Kinda sandy hair,
Eyes so soft and blue
That you couldnt help but care
When she looked at you.
She called me "baby"...
"baby", all the time.
She said, "baby, cant you see?
"baby, understand
"baby, youre for me,
Wont you take my hand? "
But I pushed her away,
Wouldnt let her near
Pushed her far away
Now Im wishing I could hear her
Call me "baby"...
"baby", all the time.
~interlude~
Its so lonely through the day,
Lonely through the night,
Lonely, lonely hours
Without that gal I held so tight.
Lord, I pray that you
Will listen to my plea.
Keep her close to you
So shell come back to me,
And call me "baby"...
"baby", all the time.
