Artist: R. Kelly
LP/CD: R. Kelly ~~ Zomba ~~ 1995
Composer: R. Kelly


Girl, I must have been crazy
To say that it was over
I had to be a fool
To yell out we were through

And now I’m all alone
And feeling down and out, baby
When I never meant for this to be
It was so, so crazy of me

Sometimes we say things
That we really don’t mean
Well, I’m sorry, baby
Bring your lovin’ back to me

I can’t sleep, babe
I can’t think, babe
I can’t live, babe
Without you in my life

I can’t go on, babe
This is my song, baby
I don’t wanna do nothin’ if I go away, babe
And I can’t do nothin’ if you’re not around

Oh, I must admit
That things got out of hand
When you told me
That he was just a friend

I shoulda had my trust in you
From the very start, darlin’
‘Cause I never meant for this to end
How can we get it back again

Oh, sometimes a man can say things
That he really don’t mean
Well I’m sorry, baby
Bring your lovin’ back to me

‘Cause I can’t sleep, baby
I can’t think, babe
I can’t live, babe
Without you in my life

I can’t go on, babe
This is my song, baby
I don’t wanna do nothin’ if I go away, babe
And I can’t do nothin’ if you’re not around, baby

Can we meet somewhere and talk about it
Oh, baby, can we work it out
I’m not gonna let you go, my baby
Before I let you know that

I can’t sleep, baby (No way)
I can’t think, baby
I can’t live, babe
Without you in my life

Don’t wanna go on, babe
This is my song, baby
I don’t wanna do nothin’ if I, ooh, I can’t be with you, baby

I can’t sleep, baby (I don’t wanna)
I can’t think, baby (You know I can’t)
I can’t live, baby (Without you)
Without you (In my life) in my life

I don’t wanna go on, babe (This is)
This is my song, baby (My song, hey)
I don’t wanna do nothin’ if I
Just the thought of you bein’ gone, baby, keeps me up all night long, baby

I can’t sleep, babe (Ooh…ooh…)
I can’t think, babe (Oh, Lord, hear my prayers)
I can’t live, babe (Please help me out of this situation I’m in)
Without you (Ooh…ooh…ooh…) in my life

Don’t wanna go on, babe (I can’t go on)
This is my song, baby (This is my song)
I don’t wanna do nothin’ if I

I can’t sleep, babe
