Uuuh.. Ooh.. Oh Ooh..
Sweet love... yeah

I didn't mean it when I said I didn't love you so
I should have held on tight I never should've let you go
I did nothing I was stupid I was foolish
I was lying to myself
I could not fathom that I would ever be without your love
Never imagined I'd be sitting here beside myself
'Cause I didn't know you 'cause I didn't know me
But I thought I knew everything
I never felt

The feeling that I'm feeling now now that I don't hear your voice
Or even touch or even kiss your lips 'cause I don't have a choice
What I wouldn't give to have you lying by my side

Right here 'cause baby

(We belong together)
When you left I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
(Come back, come back)
Come back baby please
(Come back, come back)
'Cause we belong together

Who else am I gonna lean on when times get rough
Who's gonna talk to me till the sun comes up
Who's gonna take your place baby nobody else
Oh baby baby we belong together

I can't sleep at night
When you're all on my mind
Bobby Womack's on the radio
Singing to me
"If you think you're lonely now"
Wait a minute this is too deep, too deep
I gotta change the station
So I turn the dial
Trying to catch a break
And then I hear Babyface
"I only think of you"
And it's breaking my heart
I'm trying to keep it together
But I'm falling apart

I'm feeling all out of my element
I'm throwing things crying trying to figure out
Where the hell I went wrong the pain reflected in this song
Ain't even half of what I'm feeling inside
I need you need you back in my life baby

(We belong together)
When you left I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
(Come back, come back)
Come back baby please
(Come back, come back)
'Cause We belong together

Who else am I gonna lean on when times get rough
Who's gonna talk to me till the sun comes up
Who's gonna take your place there ain't nobody else
Oh baby baby we belong together baby

(We belong together)
When you left I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
(Come back, come back)
Come back baby please
(Come back, come back)
'Cause we belong together

Who else am I gonna lean on when times get rough
Who's gonna talk to me till the sun comes up
Who's gonna take your place there ain't nobody else
Oh baby baby we belong together
