Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Who's been in here
Since I've been gone?
Little black boy
With a dirty horn
Tryin' to love my baby
Tryin' to love my baby
[Verse 2]
Well, I don't care
Oh, what the people say
Lord, I got to love you
Baby, any old way
[Verse 3]
Don't you leave me, baby
Don't you leave me, baby
Don't you leave me, baby
Don't you leave me, baby
[Verse 4]
The people in the neighborhood
Tryin' to tell my pain
But I don't care
Uh, what nobody say
I'm gonna keep my baby
[Verse 5]
I got to keep my baby
I got to keep my baby
I got to keep my baby
[Verse 6]
Moanin' and I'm groanin'
Talkin' outta my head
I be so glad
Sometimes I wish I was dead
Cause' I love my baby
Lord, I love this woman
[Verse 7]
I'm tellin' you that I need her
I gotta, gotta, gotta have her
I'm tellin' you that I need her
I want her by my side
[Verse 8]
Believe I'll blow a little bit right here
[Verse 9]
Tell me that you love me
Don't tell no lie
Lord, I don't wanna
Or do you wanna die?
[Verse 10]
I love you, baby
I love you, baby
I just love my baby
I just love my baby
I just love my baby
I just love my baby
