Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, say, say, say You know I'm crying, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh What can I do, girl, to get through to you Standing here baptized in all my tears, baby through the years You never ever worry and you never shed a tear

Seems like the other day My baby went away She went away 'cross the sea It's been two years or so Since I saw my baby go And then this letter came for me It said that we was through She found somebody new Oh, lemme think, lemme think, what shall I do?

I can't tell you why And I can't tell you why Every time I try to walk away Something makes me turn around and stay Look at us baby, up all night Tearing our love apart Aren't we the same two people who live Through years in the dark?

And I can't tell you why I can't tell you why Every time I try to walk away Something makes me turn around and stay Look at us baby, up all night Tearing our love apart Aren't we the same two people who live Through years in the dark?

And baby through the years There'll be no darkness tonight Lady our love will shine Lighting the night Just put your trust in my heart And meet me in paradise Now is the time girl You're every wonder in this world to me A treasure time won't steal away

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, say, say, say You know I'm crying, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh What can I do, girl, to get through to you Standing here baptized in all my tears, baby through the years You never ever worry and you never shed a tear
