美國靈魂樂夫人［艾瑞莎富蘭克林］──流行／靈魂曲──［（Sweet Sweet Baby）Since You’ve Been Gone／（甜蜜寶貝）自從你消失後］

Baby baby, sweet baby

Theres something that I just got to say

Baby baby, sweet baby

You left me hurtin in a real cold way

Speak your name

And Ill feel a thrill

You said I do

And I said I will

I tell you that Ill stay true

And give you just a little time

Wait on me baby

I want you to be all of mine

I just get so blue

Since youve been gone, baby

(Whyd you do it, whyd you have to do it)

Since youve been gone

(Whyd you do it, whyd you have to do it)

Baby baby, sweet baby

I didnt 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 dont know what Im gonna do (hear me)

Got to get you back somehow (hear me now)

Ooh, 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 youve been gone

(Whyd you do it, whyd you have to do it)

Since youve been gone

(Whyd you do it, whyd you have to do it)

Well Ive been so lonely

(Sweet sweet, sweet sweet baby)

Baby, since youve been gone

(Sweet sweet, sweet sweet baby)

Ive been so lonely

(Whyd you do it, whyd you have to do it)

Since youve been gone

(Whyd you do it, whyd you have to do it)

Baby baby baby
