Why'd you have to go, ah, away from home, me love?
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Why'd you have to go, ah, away from home, me love?

See the first time me lookin' at your eyes
Me be tell you want the guy like me
We use to have good time on the evenin'
Me an' you chillin' on the beach

We use hang out an' talk, an' trust me, girl
It feels so sweet
Then one day you move now, I'm feelin' kinda blue
'Cause we here you say you leave

I feel like I'm drownin' in the ocean
Somebody, come and take me away

Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Why'd you have to go, ah, away from home, me love?
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Why'd you have to go, ah, away from home, me love?

Now I'm sittin' in a chair with no one here
An' I'm feelin' all alone
Thinkin' to myself like, yo
Why my baby up and gone?
It's like I'm missin' her
When I know she's missin' me
It's been two years an' a half
An' July will make it three

I feel like I'm drownin' in the ocean
Somebody, come and take me away

Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Why'd you have to go, ah, away from home, me love?
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Why'd you have to go, ah, away from home, me love?

Why you leave me? Why, why you leave me?
Baby, tell me, babe, baby tell me
Why you leave me? Why, why you leave me?
Why you leave me?

Why you leave me? Why, why you leave me?
Baby, tell me, babe, baby tell me
Why you leave me? Why, why you leave me?
Why you leave me?

I feel like I'm drownin' in the ocean
Somebody, come and take me away
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Why'd you have to go, ah, away from home, me love?
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Why'd you have to go, ah, away from home, me love?

Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Why'd you have to go, ah, away from home, me love?
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Why'd you have to go, ah, away from home, me love?
