Why Me Baby? - Keith Sweat

Check this out, honey

It seems like 99 years have gone by Since the last time I talked to you, you know

I never realized that somethin' so innocent and so sweet

Could make a man feel so much pain

Times you’d jump out of my car

And I’d chase you till I was out of breath

Go to your job and pick you up But you never showed up that day (Where were you baby)

Where were you, baby (Where were you)

Who was you seein', it’s a hurtin' feelin', sugar

How could you, why would you abuse my love, sweetheart

Cursin' me out in front of my friends

And I could never do anything to you

Cause there was no way I could hurt somethin' (Nothing to you baby)

(Nothing to you baby)

I treasured so much

Thought I was right on time, but it seems like I was too late (No)

You hurt me, baby (No)

But hey, I’m man enough to admit it (No)

What I wanna know is why (No baby)

(Why, why me, baby)

(Why, why me, baby) Tell me, baby

(Why, why me, baby) Tell me, baby

You broke my heart, baby

(Why)

Yo, the way it happened was crazy (Umm)

We had a argument (Umm)

I didn’t see you for two or three days

And then when I go to the movies to get you off my mind (Off my mind)

I see you sittin' there holdin' hands with the next man

Caught you on the phone a couple of times, but it was always your cousin

(You lie) Step off, just a friend (You used to lie to me baby)

People used to tell me, «L, she was fakin'»

But I couldn’t see it, I was blinded by love (Got nothing on me baby)

Nothin' was too expensive

No night was too rainy

I was always there for you (I did everything baby)

I did things few call me a fool for doin'

Droppin' your friends off, all that

All I wanted in return was your undivided attention and love

(I need love baby)

If my heart had eyes it would cry

You’re still in my world (Ooh you’re still in my world)

Life is worth livin' love

Tell me why

(Why, why me, baby) Why would you do it to me, baby, yeah, yeah

(Why, why me, baby) Hurt me so bad when you left me, baby

(Why, why me, baby)

You broke myyyyy baby

(Why)

I walk around talkin' to myself

Do another day gets nothin'

Am I goin' crazy, baby

I look at the photograph that we once shared

And think about the moment, yeah, yeah

About each other

Remember the things I used to say to you, girl

There’s a right and a wrong way to love somebody

I’ll always give all my love to you

I’m on a merry-go-round and round

Girl, how deep is your love

I’ve got to go outside in the rain

It’s nice to believe that we can last forever

Why, why, why, why me No, baby, no, baby, no, baby, no, baby, no, baby

No, no, no, no, no Tell me not true

Ooh, do you know, do you know how much I love you

You were my woman and I was your man

Oh, girl, I’ll never, never, never, never, never, never understand
