[Verse 1]
(I'd cry) If you leave me sad and blue
(I'd cry) If you ever say "We're through"
(I'd cry) If I can't be near you
Lonely tears I'd shed, I'd hang my head, oh
(I'd cry) Like a little bitty baby
(I'd cry) If you ever walked away
(I'd cry) If you call it a day
I'd cry for years, I'd drown in my own tears

[Bridge]
So, sugar babe, I love you so
I need you more than you'll ever know, hey
And if you ever have to leave
I'd sit around, and I'd break right down

[Verse 2]
(I'd cry) Deep down in my heart
(I'd cry) If you leave, the tears would start
(I'd cry) Every day that we're apart
I'd cry a river, don't leave me ever, hey

[Bridge]
Baby, you really send me
The flames of love burns within me, hey
I'd be sad as I could be
If I had to do without you
[Refrain]
(I'd cry)
(I'd cry)
(I'd cry)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh) Hey

[Verse 3]
(I'd cry) If you ever skip town, baby
(I'd cry) If you ever turn around
(I'd cry) Tears would fall to the ground
I'd fall apart if you break my heart

[Bridge]
I could love you more than can say
(Love you more than words can say)
Love you more and more and more and more every day
(More and more every day)
If you ever walked away
I couldn't go on, I'd just sit at home

[Outro]
(I'd cry) Like a little baby, hey, hey
(I'd cry) If you ever walked away
(I'd cry) If you called it a day
(I'd cry) I'd cry for years, I'd drown in tears, hey
(I'd cry) If you leave sad and blue, mama
(I'd cry) If you ever say "We are through"
(I'd cry) If you ever break me down
If you ever, ever played around, listen, girl
(I'd cry) I need you more than words could say
(I'd cry) I need you, need you, darlin', every day
I've got to have you by my side, I need your love
