There Goes My Baby
The Platters · Other Songs - The Platters
Moving on down the line
Wondering where, wondering where
He is bound
I broke his heart
And made him cry
Now I'm alone, so all alone
What can I do, what can I do
Just wanna know
Does he love me
Does he really love me
Or is he just playing
Me for a fool
I wonder why he left me
Why did he leave me so all alone
So all alone
I was gonna tell him that I loved him
And that I need him
Beside my side
To be my guide
I wanna know
Where is my baby
I want my baby
I need my baby
I was gonna tell him that I loved him
And that I need him
Beside my side
To be my guide
I wanna know where is my
Where is my baby
I need my baby
I need my baby
