Lyrics:
Oooh-oooh, listen, darlin'
Yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Oooh-oooh, yeah (Yeah, yeah) Oooh

It seems like yesterday that you were in my arms
And in a special way
You touched my heart with all your charms
And now you're gone (Now you're gone)
Oh and I find myself (Find myself)
Honey, I'm all alone (I'm all alone)
And that's no love left, hey, hey

Don't know where I'd fare
Seems I've always cared
And all I know to win your love and make it so
You'd always stay but you turned away (Turned away)
Honey, now what I say
How could you, how could you
How could you do me this way

*
'Cause I'm chained to your love and affection
Chained with my heart's direction
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

I've got to make it right
Somehow I'm always wrong
Somewhere down the line the love I lost
The love I've got to find
Oh, it won't be long
I'm gonna make it right, baby
And carry you tenderly back home

(* Repeat with ad lib)

How I tremble, how I tremble, yeah
Honey, you know, honey, you know, yeah

Oh, baby, yeah
Now I admit I haven't been the perfect guy
For a girl as sweet as you
My heart is still cryin' out for you
One more chance, that's what I need
Gonna make it right, baby
Well, you just stay, won't you stay with me

(* Repeat with ad lib and fade)
