Intro]
After I hung up my heart for you, darling
And I said, if you ever need me
All you had to do was call
I stood up and I told the whole wide world
That you were good for me, baby
Yes, then you laughed and you called me your personal clown
In front of all your friends, ha
You walked away and you left me standing up like a fool
I couldn't even go to my friends or my relations
All I could do was stand up and hang my head in shame
You see what you cost me
[Verse 1]
You cost my mother
The love of my father
Sister, my brother, too
Oh, yes, you did
You see now what you've caused
And I know just what I've lost
And I know what the price I paid, I paid, I paid
For loving someone like you
[Verse 2]
Oh, oh, all I can hear my friends say is
"I told you" (Told you)
I told you
And I can hear my mother say
"Fool, I told you"
You see what you
Oh, yes, you do
You look back and you wonder sometimes
No, no, no, no, no
And I see the price I paid
I paid for loving someone
Someone, someone, someone like you, baby
[Verse 3]
And I don't care what the world might say
I'm gonna love you any old way
And although you let me down, baby
My, my, my, deep down in my heart
I feel for nobody else but you
(Say what you want)
And I don't care what my mother and my father might say
(Say what you like)
And I don't care if the world talk about me, darling
But, oh, sometimes, sometimes I just sit in my lonely room
And I moan all to myself
Why don't you come back home?
[Outro]
Now holler to me, baby
My, my, my, my, my baby (Baby)
Baby (Baby), I need you
