intro
I've been so lonely, and I'm missing my baby boo
I refuse to be like this, I know what I'm gonna do
I've been so lonely, and I'm missing my baby boo
I refuse to be like this, I know what I'm gonna do
verse
See I've been so lonely when I left him
Thinking how he hurt me so
But I saw him lately, he looks sorry
So downcast and so lone
pre-chorus
Now he's been on my mind, on my mind for quite some time
Now I know what I'm gonna do, oh
chorus
I miss my baby so
I'm missing, missing, missing my boy
(Said I'm missing, missing my baby) my boy (my boy)
I want my baby back (oh, oh)
I'm missing, missing, missing my boy
verse
I'm going back to my boy
(I've been so lonely, and I'm missing my baby boo)
Back to my boy
(I refuse to be like this, I know what I'm gonna do)
See, I tried to fight this love inside me
It just wouldn't go away
He was wrong and I know I was wrong
But you know that two wrongs don't make it okay
pre-chorus
Now he's been on my mind, on my mind for quite some time
Now I know what I'm gonna do, oh
chorus
I miss my baby so
I'm missing, missing, missing my boy
My boy (my boy)
I want my baby back (oh, oh)
I'm missing, missing, missing my boy (missing, missing my baby)
My boy (I'm missing, missing my baby)
I miss my baby so (oh, oh)
I'm missing, missing, missing my boy
(So, I can't go right back and not stop it) my boy
(Somebody just hold me)
I want my baby back (I want my baby)
I'm missing, missing, missing my boy
bridge
Oh no, I'm going back to my boy
(I've been so lonely, and I'm missing my baby boo) I'm missing you, my baby
(I refuse to be like this, I know what I'm gonna do) soon I'm missing my boy, my baby
(I've been so lonely, and I'm missing my baby boo) I'm missing who? Oh yeah
(I refuse to be like this, I know what I'm gonna do)
(I've been so lonely, and I'm missing my baby boo) I'm missing my baby boo
(I refuse to be like this, I know what I'm gonna do) what I'm gonna do, yeah
(I've been so lonely, and I'm missing my baby boo) oh, oh, oh
(I refuse to be like this, I know what I'm gonna do) c'mon sing with me
verse
I miss my baby so
(I've been so lonely, and I'm missing my baby boo)
I want my baby back
(I refuse to be like this, I know what I'm gonna do)
I miss my baby so
(I've been so lonely, and I'm missing my baby boo)
I want my baby back
(I refuse to be like this, I know what I'm gonna do)
