Oh baby, listen to me girl,
and let me tell you my story
Here's how I felt when I saw you girl,
coming down the street
You were a vision of a loveliness,
you were a pleasure for the eyes to see
Oh, baby, when you walked a little closer,
my heart began to skip a beat.
I just couldn't believe a girl
as pretty as you could be.
So close to me, I just wanted to cry.
Oh, baby, cause you were so fine,
so fine, so fine.
I just wanted to cry, cry, cry, cry, cry.
Cause you were so fine, so fine, so fine.
I just wanted to, oh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
ooh, ooh, ooh, oo h
Oh, you won't believe the rest,
baby
When you were walking so close to me
I could almost touch you with my hand
And I feared that you
would just walk on by
And I'd never see you again,
oh, baby
And then it wasn't half fun
And it took me by surprise
You know you paused just a moment
when you got close to me, girl
And when you winked your eye,
I just wanted to
Cry,
Lord have mercy
Cry,
Lord have mercy
Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
Cry,
Lord have mercy
Cry, I just wanted to
Fall on my knees, just break down and cry
I went boo -hoo -hoo -hoo -hoo
-hoo -hoo -hoo -hoo
Whoo!
Listen, let me tell you, girl, I've
tried to get myself together.
Go ahead.
I've tried.
Just as fast as I could.
Listen, baby.
I've
I softened my mind for something to say,
cause
I, I knew it had to be good.
Oh, baby.
I've tried.
I finally got it together.
I was ready to shout.
But when I opened my mouth,
Lord, nothing came out.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I,
I,
I, I wanted to cry
Whoo -hoo!
Ain't no doubt in my mind, little girl
That a man ain't supposed to cry
But I'm here on my knees
With tears in my eyes begging
Don't pass me by
I just wanted to cry,
for her mercy
