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 her
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...
Baby, all the time.
