Intro: 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 couldn’t help but care When she looked at you She called me "baby" "Baby" all the time She said "Baby can’t you see "Baby understand "Baby you’re for me Won’t you take my hand" But I pushed her away wouldn’t let her near Pushed her far away Now I’m wishing I could hear him Call me "Baby? "Baby" all the time Interlude: It’s 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 she’ll come back to me And call me "Baby" "Baby" all the time "Baby" all the time
