[Intro]

Ooh, baby (Baby, baby)

Ooh, baby girl (Baby, baby)

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

If I had been there to wipe your tears

Then no one else would be around

If I had been there to cradle your fears

We'd still be together now, now

Wish I could be there to share your dreams

I wish that I could still be down, baby

But you are gone and I'm here alone

And I sure do regret it now

Oh, yes I do

Said I really do

Oh, I'm missing you

Oh, I'm missing you, baby

1 - Baby, I should have known

I should of cared just a little bit more

I shouldn't of listened to a word from the fellas

I shouldn't of let my sweetie go

Baby I, I want you to know

If I could take it back you know that I would

I'd give anything to get things back

Now that I know all the things I should have known

Ooh, baby (Baby, baby)

Ooh, baby girl (Baby, baby)

Shoulda been there with my baby every night

Been a kissin' you and holding you so tight

How I wish that I could be with you right now

I'd give anything just to see your smile, smile

But I'm all alone

And all the should of's in the world

They won't bring you back

And I'm the one to blame

I didn't know how to act

Or to save a love

And I sure do regret it, lady

Lady, lady, lady

Repeat 1

I promise I won't ignore you

You'll never never never be alone, no

Just lean on me as your shoulder

Girl, I promise you I won't let you fall

Oh, yes I do, yeah, yeah

I'm missing you, I'm missing you, you baby

Repeat 1

All the things I should have known

I should've should've should've known

All the things I should of known, oh

All the things I should

The things I should

The things I should have known
