There Goes My Babytd Lyrics

There Goes My Babytd

Peaked at # 2 in 1959
Their second-biggest hit, featuring lead singer Ben E.
King. Co-songwriter Jerry
Leiber later commented it was his least favorite
of all the hits written with partner
Mike Stoller; perhaps for this reason,
the song is sometimes credited only to
Nelson, Patterson, and Treadwell.
Considered by some historians to be the first
R&B hit to use strings, paving
the way for the mass acceptance of R&B music by
white audiences, and the
transition of R&B to Soul music in the early 1960s. More
than two decades
later, it was covered by Donna Summer as a Top 25 dance hit in
1984. The
Drifters' original also inspired the title of a 1992 film starring
Dermot
Mulroney and Rick Schroeder.



(Bo-bo,
doo-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo)
(There she goes)
(doo-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo)
(There she goes)
(doo-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Bo-bo) (doo-doot-doo-doo)
(Bo-bo)
(doo-doo-doo-doo)


There goes my baby, movin' on down the
line
Wonder where, wonder where, wonder where she is bound?
I broke her
heart and made her cry
Now I'm alone, so all alone
What can I do, what
can I do?

(There goes my baby) Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
(There goes my baby)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(There goes my baby) Whoa-oh-oh-oh
(There she
goes) Yeah! (There she goes)

I wanna know if she loved me
Did she
really love me?
Was she just playing me for a fool?

I wonder why she
left me
Why did she leave me so all alone
So all alone

I was gonna
tell her that I loved her
And that I need her
Beside my side to be my
guide

I wanna know where is my (doo-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo)
Where is my
baby (doo-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo) ?
I want my baby
I need my
baby

Yeah, whoa-oh-oh

FADE
(There goes my
baby)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
