Thinking About His Baby
Lisa Stansfield · Other Songs - Lisa Stansfield
He's up all night, thinking about his baby
He tries to fight, the knot he feels inside
He sits alone, and wonders where she's gone
They know the rules, but they want something more
All they need to say, so why do they hide away
They should be together
All the lonely nights, will they ever realize
That they feel the same
Chorus:
Ooh, thinking about his baby
He wants his baby and he won't rest 'till he gets his baby
She's up all night, thinking about his baby
And nothings right, until he's by her side
Bridge:
Taking everything they turn it the other way
Only to feel the pain
And they really care, they need one another there
And they'll find their way
They don't need money, to get what they want
They need to realize just what they've got
They don't need nothing to push them along
They just need love
Repeat bridge then chorus fade
