Lyrics
“You’re My Baby”
I wanna talk to you
There’s nothing wrong
I, I’m not upset
It’s nothing like that
I just got to talk to you
You see I got a problem
A real serious problem
I miss you girl
Oh baby I miss you
And the funny thing about it is
We’re not apart and we are together
I love you and you love me
And we are happy together but
Sometimes when you’re not here
And we aren’t together
I, I, I just get so so hung up
Mentally and spiritually too
I don’t know if I going or coming
And I know that I’m, I’m a man and
I feel just like you feel
To love someone as much as I love you
To need and to want someone
As much as I want you
Sometimes it, sometimes it gets next to me baby
That’s just the way it is
Is such a glory to be this way I guess
It’s just when you’re not here
I miss you baby
Girl I miss
Your on my mind
Girl I’m crazy
Your loves the type
Just my kind of crazy
My sadness is gone
When your appear
When you’re here
Cuz my baby
You’re my baby
And I do believe that I’m mad about you
Don’t ever leave
I just can’t live without you
Girl you’re my life
My world and dreams
My joy and laughter
My everything
You’re my baby
You’re my baby
Funny as it seems
I live in a dream
I dream of you
And me
Baby always together
Loving forever
And breaking up
Breaking up never

You’re my baby
Funny as it sounds
I need you around
As long as I live

For all eternity

My life is loving you
