Baby Doll - Curtis Mayfield

My dearest darling

If I could just bring back those special days

The days I had your loving ways

They haunt me now

The wrongs I’ve done

Now I’m the fool

The lonely one

I stand here now

Feeling so outside

I stand here now

Feeling so outside

I ask you now

Heart open wide

Babe

Hey babydoll

Don’t ever leave me no

You’re the spark that starts it all

And you’re what makes me tippy toe

Ooh babe

Hey babydoll

If I could hold you now

Take me in

Don’t let us lose it all

Let’s start again

Don’t let us fall

I never thought you’d grow to be

So far away from me

I cheated you so bad

You’ve got every right to say

Just go away, you cannot stay

Am I too late to give

To be so sensitive

Let our love live oh babe

Other eyes have blinded me

Now I can see and I can see

Babe

Hey babydoll

Don’t ever leave me no

You’re the spark that starts it all

And you’re what makes me tippy toe

Ooh babe

Hey babydoll

If I could hold you now

Take me in

Don’t let us lose it all

Let’s start again

Don’t let us fall

If I could only say

How much I love you babe

I love to squeeze you so

Lord knows

Lord knows I’ll appreciate

That love we left

That love so rare

Oh

My heart is out

My arms want only you

I’ve learned my lesson well

If I have lost that special part of me

I tell myself, and everybody

Take time

To love the one you love

Don’t be like me oh no

Take the time

It takes to love

The one who really loves you yeah

Take time

To love the one you love

Or you might lose her now

Take the time it takes

To love the one

The one who really, really loves you

Don’t be like me no, no

Take the tiem

To love and to love

Take the time it takes to love

The one who really, who really really loves you

I’ve learned my lesson well

I tell myself and everybody

Take the time it takes

To love the one

The one who really, who really really loves you yeah

Take time to love

The one who really loves you

Take the time it takes

To love the one

Who really really loves you

Don’t be no fool babe

Hey baby doll

I don’t wanna lose you baby

I don’t wanna lose you baby
