Early in the morning about the break of day
That's when my baby went away
Crying and pleading won't do no good
Come back baby I wish you would

I love you baby I can't help myself
I won't mistreat you for no one else
Tell me now baby what you trying to do
You trying to love me and some other man too

A hugging and kissing late at night
Really made your baby feel alright

Staying out drinking all night long
Drove my baby away from home
Please pretty baby give me one more chance
You know I love you wanna be your man

Crying and pleading won't do no good
Come back baby I wish you would
I love you baby I can't help myself
I won't mistreat you for no one else

A hugging and kissing late at night
Really make your baby feel alright
