Baby, listen      I never meant to be so, so, hard on you   But my, my pride had me thinking   Thinking that it was the right thing   But girl I really love you   And it's drivin' me crazy   That you're not here to hold me anymore      How long must I cry?   How long do I have to try?   To make happiness my friend   And how long will it be   Until you come back to me   And let me feel your love again?      I said I really love you   And girl I'm thinking of you   There's no one in this world could take the place of you   Because you are my baby   And you drive me crazy   There's nothing else I would say or do, if I don't have you, back in my life      I'm willin' to live and die for you   Baby, don't you know that my words are true   I really love you, still thinking of you   Can't imagine living life without you      I really miss you, no need to dis you   Can't live another day without you   And everything I say to you, baby it's true   I still love you baby      How long must I cry?   How long do I have to try?   To make happiness my friend   And how long will it be   Until you come back to me   And let me feel your love again?      How long must I cry?   How long do I have to try?   To make happiness my friend   And how long will it be   Until you come back to me   And let me feel your love again?
