Lover Boy

[Verse 1]
My baby's gone away
There's no one he-here to say
"I love you so; you're my pride and joy"
Now, baby, don't be sore
Come back and say-ay that you're
My lover boy (Lover boy)
Ba-ba, ba-ba

[Verse 2]
Oh baby, I-I confess
You are my ha-happiness
I'll take my heart and give you for a toy
I'll have the blues
Until you tell me you are true
Lover boy

[Chorus]
Oh, how I wish I could read the future
I wonder just how the cards are stacked
I wish I knew what to say or what to do
To get my baby to come back to me

[Verse 3]
Oh, baby, tell me why
Don't leave me he-here to cry
Sweetheart, come back and fill my heart with joy
Oh, please come back to me
Come back and say you'll be
My lover boy

[Chorus]
Oh, how I wish I could read the future
I wonder just (wonder) how the cards (wonder) are stacked
I wish I knew (just what) what to say (I wish I knew) or what to do
To get my baby to come back to me

[Verse 4]
Oh, baby, tell me why
Don't leave me he-here to cry
Sweetheart, come back and fill my heart with joy
Oh, please come back to me
Come back and say you'll be
My lover boy

[Outro]
Sweetheart, come back (Sweetheart, come back)
Sweetheart, come back (Sweetheart, come back)
To me, (Lover boy) Lover boy
