Baby Don’t Be Givin’ Me Up

I know it's taking me some time
To get my head together
I guess I fail to recognize
The friend I have in you

You've been waiting patiently
You must be wonderin' whether
I will ever find myself again
Oh Lord I hope I do

Baby don't be givin' me up
You know in time that I'll forget her
Won't let her come between us anymore
Baby don't be givin' me up
I need your love to see me though it
I'll do it or I'll show myself to the door

She left me here not long ago
For reasons I'm not sure of
And though it's hard to understand
I feel the pain today

Your lovin' arms surrounding me
Is something I need more of
To fill the void of emptiness
Oh Lord I hope you stay

Baby don't be givin' me up
You know in time that I'll forget her
Won't let her come between us anymore
Baby don't be givin' me up
I need your love to see me through it
I'll do it or I'll show myself to the doo
