Since I Lost My Baby
Luther Vandross · The Music Of Luther Vandross [2009]
A new day is dawnin', sunny and bright
But after I've been cryin' all night
The sun is cold, and the new day seems old
Since I lost my baby
Oh, since I lost my baby, ooh
The birds are singin' and the children are playin'
There's plenty of work and the bosses are payin'
Not a sad word should a young heart be sayin'
But fun is a bore and with money I'm poor
Since I lost my baby
(Since I lost my baby)
Oh, since I lost my baby, my baby
(My baby, my baby)
Next time I'll be kinder to my baby
Won't you please help me find her
(Just help me to find ger)
Someone just remind her
(Someone just remind her)
(Someone just remind her)
Of this love she left behind her
'Til I find her I'll be trying ta
('Til I find her I'll be trying ta)
Everyday I'm more inclined ta
Find her, Inclined ta
Find her, Inclined ta find my baby
(Baby)
I've been looking everywhere
(My baby)
Yeah, baby, I really, really care, I care, I care
My determination is fading fast, oh fast, oh fast
Inspiration is a thing of the past, oh
I can't see how my hope's gonna last
But good things are bad and what's happy is sad, so sad, so sad
(So bad)
I'm sad, so sad, so sad
Since I lost my baby
(Since I lost my girl)
Oh, since I lost my baby
(Since I lost my baby)
I feel so sad
Gotta find that girl, I've got to find my girl
Since I lost my, since I lost my, my, my, my, my baby
Gotta find that girl, I've got to find my girl
Since I lost my, since I lost my, my, my, my, my baby
Gotta find that girl, I've got to find my girl
Since I lost my baby
What's gonna happen to her
I Don't know, I don't know
What I'm gonna do now
I don't know
Since I lost my baby, yeah
I don't know, I don't know
What to do without my girl, my girl, my girl
I don't know
Since I lost my baby, yeah
I can't find her nowhere
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, oh no
Yeah, I can't find her nowhere
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
I can't find her nowhere
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
I can't find her nowhere
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
