Bobby Troup - Baby Baby All the Time lyrics

Once I had a man, sweet as he could be Once I had a man and he was right for me Kind of curly hair, eyes so soft and true That you couldn't help but care When he looked at you He called me baby Baby all the time He said, 'Baby can't you see?' 'Baby understand?' 'Baby you're for me' 'Oh won't you take my hand?' But I push him away Wouldn't let him near Pushed him far away And now I'm wishing I could hear him Call me baby, baby all the time It's so lonely through the day Lonely through the night Lonely, lonely hours without that Man I held so tight Lord I pray that you will listen to my plea Keep him close to you so he'll come back to me And call me baby, baby all the time Baby, baby all the time
