Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Baby
[Verse 2]
What would I be if your love were gone?
Alone (Alone, baby)
A house, but not a-
Homes are made of more than bricks and stone
Alone (Alone, baby)
You made our house a home
[Verse 3]
Hey-hey-hey
To forsake me for her would be wrong
Alone
She'd like to see me-
We've given each other so much time
Alone (Darlin')
So many tears I'd find
[Verse 4]
(Woo)
[Verse 5]
When you're home our melody is strong
To terminate our love would be so wrong
I know his intentions
I'm weak and worthless, woman (Don't you know it, baby)
So darling dear, please
[Verse 6]
Life is starting
But my love is turning (Baby)
I need you to tell me to hurry
Teach me, darling, if I'm worthy
Sweet, sweet, darling, if I'm worthy
[Verse 7]
Of another chorus of loves sweet song
Alone (Baby)
Just you and I, right on (Woo)
[Verse 8]
Alone
(Mercy, mercy)
So sad to be alone
(Truly, baby)
[Verse 9]
How would I be if your love was gone?
I can't stand to think, to live in the world of hurt and misery
You've got to understand
Alone
That I'm just no good for nothin', babe, if you can't be my man
[Verse 10]
Homes are made of more than bricks and stone
I can't stand to think, to live in the world of hurt and misery
You've got to understand
Alone
That I'm just no good for nothin', Marv', if you can't be my man
[Verse 11]
What would I be if your love was gone?
Alone
