Uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, oh

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

Uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, oh

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

See the first time me lookin' at your eyes

Me be tell you want a guy like me

We use to have good times on da evenin'

Me an' you chillin' on da beach

We use to kiss and caress an' trust me girl

It feels so sweet

Den one day you move now I'm feelin' kinda blue

'Cause we had to see you leave

I feel like I'm drownin' in da ocean

Somebody, come and take me away

Uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, oh

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

Uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, oh

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

Now I'm sittin' in a chair wit no one here an' I'm feelin' all alone

Thinkin' to myself like, "Damn, why my baby up and gone?"

It's like I'm missin' her and 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 da ocean

Somebody, come and take me away

Uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, oh

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

Uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, oh

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

Why you leave me? Wh-why you leave me?

Baby tell me, ba-baby tell me

Why you leave me? Wh-why you leave me?

Why you leave me?

Why you leave me? Wh-why you leave me?

Baby tell me, ba-baby tell me

Why you leave me? Wh-why you leave me?

Why you leave me?

I feel like I'm drownin' in da ocean

Somebody, come and take me away

Uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, oh

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

Uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, oh

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

Uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, oh

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