(Sweet Sweet Baby) Since You’ve Been Gone Lyrics By Aretha Franklin

    baby baby sweet baby
    there’s something that i just got to say
    baby baby sweet baby
    you left me hurting in a real cold way

    speak your name
    and i’ll feel a thrill
    you said i do
    and i said i will
    i tell you that i’ll stay true
    and give you just a little time
    wait on me baby
    i want you to be all mine
    i just get so blue

    since you’ve been gone baby
    why’d you do it why’d you have to do it
    since you’ve been gone
    why’d you do it why’d you have to do it

    baby baby sweet baby
    i didn’t mean to run you away
    it was pride on my lips
    but not in my heart
    to say the things that made you stray
    but ah babe
    hear me now
    hear me
    i don’t know what i’m going to do
    hear me
    got to get you back somehow
    hear me now
    i’m trying
    take me back
    consider me please
    if you walk in that door
    i can get up off my knees
    i just been so blue

    since you’ve been gone
    why’d you do it why’d you have to do it
    since you’ve been gone
    why’d you do it why’d you have to do it
    well i’ve been so lonely
    sweet sweet sweet sweet baby
    baby since you’ve been gone
    sweet sweet sweet sweet baby
    i’ve been so lonely
    why’d you do it why’d you have to do it
    since you’ve been gone
    why’d you do it why’d you have to do it
    baby baby baby been so lonely
    sweet sweet sweet sweet baby
