Pleadin' to my baby

I been pleadin' to my baby
'Don't leave me all alone'
I been pleadin' to my baby
'Don't leave me all alone'
Because I will miss her
Ev'ryday that she'll be gone

People, I was sitting down, wondering
What can a po' man do?
People, I was sitting down, wondering
What can a po' man do?
When the one you love
Said that she is leavin' you

My baby told me, 'Bye-bye'
As she was leaving outta my do'
My baby told me, 'Bye-bye'
As she was leaving outta my do'
She say, 'You'll never see my smilin' face, no mo'

So I begged you, baby
Did ev'rything that I could do
So I have begged you, baby
Did ev'rything that I could do
An if you just want to leave me
I'm gonna leave it up to you

It was love, it was love
That have almost broke my heart
It was love, it was love
That have almost broke my heart
But you know sometimes
The best of friends must part.
