[Intro]
Sweet love, yeah

[Verse 1]
I didn't mean it when I said
I didn't love you so (so)
I should have held on tight
I never should have let you go (go)
I didn't know nothing
I was stupid, I was foolish
I was lying to myself
I couldn't have fathomed
I would ever be without your love (your love)
Never imagined I'd be sitting
Here beside myself (myself)
Guess I didn't know you
Guess I didn't know me
But I thought I knew everything
I never felt

[Pre-Chorus 1]
The feeling that I'm feeling
Now that I don't hear your voice
Or have your touch and hold your hand
'Cause I don't have a choice (no choice)
Oh what I wouldn't give
To have you standing by my side
Right here, 'cause, baby

[Chorus]
When you left I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back baby please cause
We belong together
Who else am I gonna lean on
When times get rough
Who’s gonna talk to me on the phone
Till the sun comes up
Who’s gonna take your place
There ain't nobody better
Oh, baby, baby
We belong together

[Verse 2]
I can't sleep at night
When you are on my mind
Bobby Womack's on the radio
Singing to me
"If you think you're lonely now"
Wait a minute, this is too deep
I gotta change the station
So I turn the dial tryin' to catch a break
And there I hear Babyface
"I only think of you" and
It's breaking my heart
I'm tryna keep it together
But I'm falling apart

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I'm feeling all out of my element
Throwing things, crying, tryin'
To figure out where the hell I went wrong
The pain reflected in this song
Ain't even half of what I'm feeling inside
I need you, need you back in my life, baby

[Chorus]
When you left I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back, baby, please 'cause
We belong together
Who else am I gonna lean on
When times get rough
Who’s gonna talk to me on the phone
Till the sun comes up
Who’s gonna take your place
There ain't nobody better
Oh, baby baby
We belong together, baby

[Outro]
When you left I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back, baby, please 'cause
We belong together
Who am I gonna lean on
When times get rough
Who’s gonna talk to me
Till the sun comes up
Who’s gonna take your place
There ain't nobody better
Oh, baby baby
We belong together
Uh
