Baby, Baby, Baby Lyrics

[Chorus]
Baby, baby, baby, this is just to say
How much I'm gonna miss you
But believe while I'm away
That I didn't mean to hurt you
Don't you know that I'd rather hurt myself?
(I'd hurt myself, I'd hurt myself)

[Verse]
Baby, baby, baby (Baby)
Think of me sometimes (Baby)
Because if loving you was so wrong (Baby)
Then I'm guilty of this crime
(Guilty, I'm guilty, I'm guilty)

I'm bewildered, I'm lonely and I'm loveless
Without you to hold my hand
(Reach out for me, boy)
If you'd just understand
(Reach out to me, right now)

Those that we love, we foolishly make cry
Then sometimes feel it's best to say goodbye, goodbye
But what's inside can't be denied
The power (Power of love)
The power of love (Power of love)
Is my only guide
Baby (Oh)
Baby (Oh)
Baby (Oh)
[Chorus]
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, this is just to say
Just how much I'm really gonna miss you
But believe while I'm away
(I need you, I need you, I need you)
That I really didn't mean, I didn't mean, I didn't mean to hurt you
Don't you know that, that I'd rather hurt myself?
(I'd hurt myself)

[Outro]
Baby, I need you, I need you, I need you
If I did you wrong, if I did you wrong
(I'd hurt myself)
I need you, I need you, I need you
If I did you wrong
(I'd hurt myself)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
