Baby Baby Baby Baby Don't leave me all alone...

Here are the lyrics:

(phone sound...)

Lying in my bed

Thinking 'bout the day

baby in the Wee hours

think I got a lot to say

tossing in my sheets

reaching for the light

baby it's been three hours

since we since we say goodnight

Looking at my wall

calling out your name

baby all I see is flowers

and you know i'm not the same

looking at your number

gonna make a call

baby don't you be a coward

now you know you're bound to fall

Baby Baby Baby Baby Baby

Don't leave me all alone

Baby Baby Baby Baby Baby

Pick up the telephone

Lying wide awake

got you in my head

baby you can be so sour

why can't you be sweet instead

thinking about the things

that you always say

baby I can feel your power

even when you're far away

all i've got to do

is get you on the line

baby don't you flee and cower

Everything will work out fine

All i've got to say

is just a thing or two

Baby i don't need an hour

to tell you what i want to do

* Break - just strum the "weird Hendrix" chord as you hear it on the CD

*

Baby Baby Baby Baby Baby

Don't leave me all alone

Baby Baby Baby Baby Baby

Pick up the telephone

And if you're a Big Soul fan, you can write me !!!!

Good luck !
