Luther Vandross — Since Youve Been Gone

[Verse 1] Baby, baby, sweet baby There's something that I've just got to say Baby, baby, sweet baby You left me hurtin' in a real cold way [Pre-Chorus] Speak your name, and I feel a thrill You said I do, sure thing, and I said I will [Chorus] I told you to just be true And give me just a little time Wait on me, baby I want you to be all of mine I've just been so blue Since you've been gone (why'd ya do it, why'd ya have to do it) Since you've been gone (why'd ya do it, why'd ya have to do it) [Verse 2] Since you've been gone, i've been missin' you Miss your good love, miss your kissin' too What a shame Why'd you do that? Why'd you tip on me? Come home Bring your love back now to rescue me, uh-huh Baby, baby, sweet baby (sweet, sweet baby) I didn't mean to run you away It was pride on my lips But not in my heart To say the things that made you stray And I mean Hear me now (hear me) I don't know what I'm gonna do (hear me) Got to get you back somehow (hear me now) [Chorus] And all I know is if you take me back Consider me, please If you walk in that door I can get up off my knees And I've just been so blue Since you've been gone (why'd ya do it, why'd ya have to do it) Since you've been gone (why'd ya do it, why'd ya have to do it) I've been so lonely (sweet sweet, sweet sweet baby) Since you've been gone (sweet sweet, sweet sweet baby) I've been so alone since you've been gone (since you've been gone) Everything, everything, everything's gone wrong (since you've been gone) Everything's wrong, nothing else, I ain't got nobody (since you've been gone) I get so, I get so, I get so lonely (since you've been gone) Oh come home, come home, come home, come home, come home (since you've been gone) Try to get to, get to me and come home (since you've been gone) Ooh, come home (since you've been gone) I ain't had time for no one since you've been gone (since you've been gone) I ain't act up on nothin' since you've been gone (since you've been gone) I don't want no one, no (since you've been gone) All I want, only you (since you've been gone) And I've been going out of my head since you've been gone (since you've been gone) I talk to myself (since you've been gone) (Baby baby) (since you've been gone) (Sweet sweet baby) (since you've been gone)
