Lyrics:
Woo-ah-woo
Baby love, my baby love
I need ya, (baby, ooh, baby love) oh, how I need ya
But all you do is treat me bad
Break my heart and leave me sad
Tell me, what did I do wrong to make you stay away so long?
I need ya, (baby, ooh, baby love) oh, how I need ya
But all you do is treat me bad
Break my heart and leave me sad
Tell me, what did I do wrong to make you stay away so long?
‘Cause baby love, my baby love
Been missin’ ya, miss kissin’ ya (baby love, ooh, baby love)
Instead of breakin’ up (don’t throw our love away)
Let’s do some kissin’ and makin’ up (don’t throw our love away)
Don’t throw our love away
In my arms, why don’t you stay (baby, baby, baby, ooh)
Need ya, need ya (baby love, baby love, baby love, ooh, baby love)
Been missin’ ya, miss kissin’ ya (baby love, ooh, baby love)
Instead of breakin’ up (don’t throw our love away)
Let’s do some kissin’ and makin’ up (don’t throw our love away)
Don’t throw our love away
In my arms, why don’t you stay (baby, baby, baby, ooh)
Need ya, need ya (baby love, baby love, baby love, ooh, baby love)
Baby love, my baby love
Why must we separate, my love? (Baby love, ooh, baby love)
All of my whole life through (don’t throw our love away)
I never loved no one but you (don’t throw our love away)
Why ya do me like ya do?
I get this need (baby, baby, baby)
Why must we separate, my love? (Baby love, ooh, baby love)
All of my whole life through (don’t throw our love away)
I never loved no one but you (don’t throw our love away)
Why ya do me like ya do?
I get this need (baby, baby, baby)
Ooh, (need you, love) ooh (need you, love)
Need to hold you (baby love)
Once again, my love (baby love)
Feel your warm embrace, my love
Don’t throw our love away (don’t throw our love away)
Please don’t do me this way (don’t throw our love away)
Not happy like I used to be
Loneliness has got the best of me, my love (baby, baby, baby, ooh, baby love)
Need to hold you (baby love)
Once again, my love (baby love)
Feel your warm embrace, my love
Don’t throw our love away (don’t throw our love away)
Please don’t do me this way (don’t throw our love away)
Not happy like I used to be
Loneliness has got the best of me, my love (baby, baby, baby, ooh, baby love)
My baby love (baby love)
I need you, oh, how I need you (baby love, sweet, baby love)
Why ya do me like ya do? (Don’t throw our love away)
After I’ve been true to you (don’t throw our love away)
So deep in love with you
I need you, oh, how I need you (baby love, sweet, baby love)
Why ya do me like ya do? (Don’t throw our love away)
After I’ve been true to you (don’t throw our love away)
So deep in love with you
Baby, baby, (baby) ooh, ’til it’s hurtin’ me (ooh, baby love)
‘Til it’s hurtin’ me (baby love)
Ooh, (baby love, ooh) baby love
Don’t throw our love away (don’t throw our love away)
Don’t throw our love away (don’t throw our love…)
‘Til it’s hurtin’ me (baby love)
Ooh, (baby love, ooh) baby love
Don’t throw our love away (don’t throw our love away)
