You know I'm crying, ooh ooh ooh ooh Yeah, yeah Now go, go, go where you want But don't leave me here forever You, you, you stay away So long girl, I see you never What can I do Girl to get through to you? Cause I love you, baby Standing here, baptized in all my tears Baby through the years You know I'm crying, ooh ooh ooh ooh (You've got to say, say, say) (You've got to say, say, say) You never ever worry And you never shed a tear You're saying that my love ain't real Just look at my face these tears ain't drying You, you, you can never say That I'm not the one who really loves you I pray, pray, pray everyday That you'll see things, girl, like I do What can I do girl, to get through to you? Cause I love you, baby (I love you, baby) Standing here, baptized in all my tears But baby through the years You know I'm crying, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
