Intro]
Ooh, baby (Baby, baby)
Ooh, baby girl (Baby, baby)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

If I had been there to wipe your tears
Then no one else would be around
If I had been there to cradle your fears
We'd still be together now, now

Wish I could be there to share your dreams
I wish that I could still deep down, baby
But you are gone and I'm here alone
And I sure do regret it now

Oh, yes I do
Said I really do
Oh, I'm missing you
Oh, I'm missing you, baby

1 - Baby, I should have known
I should've cared just a little bit more
I shouldn't have listened to a word from the fellas
I shouldn't have let my sweetie go

Baby I, I want you to know
If I could take it back you know that I would
I'd give anything to get things back
Now that I know all the things I should have known

Ooh, baby (Baby, baby)
Ooh, baby girl (Baby, baby)

Shoulda been there with my baby every night
kissin' you and holding you so tight
How I wish that I could be with you right now
I'd give anything to see your smile, smile

But I'm all alone
And all the 'should've's in the world
They won't bring you back
And I'm the one to blame
I didn't know how to act
Or to save a love
And I sure do regret it, lady
Lady, lady, lady

Repeat 1

I promise I won't ignore you
You'll never never never be alone, no
Just lean on me as your shoulder
Girl, I promise you I won't let you fall
Oh, yes I do, yeah, yeah
I'm missing you, I'm missing you, you baby

Repeat 1

All the things I should have known
I should've should've should've known
All the things I should of known, oh
All the things I should
The things I should
The things I should have known
