(Bobby Troup)
Once I had a gal,
As sweet as she could be.
Once I had a gal,
And she was right for me.
Kinda sandy hair,
Eyes so soft and blue
That you couldn`t help but care
When she looked at you.
She called me "baby"...
"Baby", all the time.
She said, "Baby, can`t you see?
"Baby, understand
"Baby, you`re for me,
Won`t you take my hand?"
But I pushed her away,
Wouldn`t let her near
Pushed her far away
Now I`m wishing I could hear her
Call me "Baby"...
"Baby", all the time.
~interlude~
It`s so lonely through the day,
Lonely through the night,
Lonely, lonely hours
Without that gal I held so tight.
Lord, I pray that You
Will listen to my plea.
Keep her close to You
So she`ll come back to me,
And call me "Baby"...
"Baby", all the time.
Baby...
Baby, all the time.
