Lyrics
Ooh, la-la-la-la
I did you wrong
My heart went out to play
But in the game I lost you
What a price to pay
I’m cryin’
Ooh, baby, baby
Ooh, baby, baby
Mistakes, I know I’ve made a few
But I’m only human
You’ve made mistakes too
I’m cryin’
Ooh, baby, baby
Ooh, baby, baby
I’m just about at the end of my rope
But I can’t stop tryin’, I can’t give up hope
‘Cause I feel that one day I’ll hold you near
Whisper, “I still love you”
Until that day is here
I’m cryin’
Ooh, baby, baby
Ooh, baby, baby
Ooh-ooh, baby, baby
Oo-hoo-ooh, baby, baby
Ooh-ooh
