Ooo Baby Baby

Linda Ronstadt · Other Songs - Linda Ronstadt

Ooh la, la, la, la.

I did you wrong, my heart went out to play

And in the game I lost you, what a price to pay!

I'm cryin', ooh baby baby ooh baby baby

Mistakes I know I've made a few,

But I'm only human; you've made mistakes too!

I'm cryin', ooh baby baby ooh baby baby

Ooh baby baby

Ooh baby baby I'm just about at the end of my rope.

But I can't stop tryin', I can't give up hope

'cause I feel someday I'll hold you near,

Whisper I still love you

Until that day is here ooh I'm cryin'.

Ooh baby baby ooh baby baby
