*Knocking*
Woman: Who is it?
Jimmy Lewis: It's Jimmy ma'am
Woman: Jimmy who?
Jimmy Lewis: Jimmy Lewis, I live in the apartment next to yours and I just got off from work and I went home and my old lady wasn't there and the baby was gone too and I was wondering if you had seen her
Woman: Young man, do you know what time it is?
Jimmy Lewis: Yes ma'am I do, and I'm truly sorry, believe me I hate to disturb you this time of night but I was just wondering if you had seen her
Woman: Look, I don't wanna get mixed up in your troubled mind and stuff
Jimmy Lewis: I'm not trying to get you mixed up in anything lady, I just simply asked you a question, have you seen my baby?
Woman: It ain't my business, mind you but since you asked I'll tell you so I can go back to sleep
Jimmy Lewis: Yes ma'am
Woman: Well, as soon as you left, she left here with some other man
Jimmy Lewis: Another man?
Woman: Another man

I won't believe it, nawh
Not my baby
You see, miss
I know my baby
She wouldn't do it to me
She knows that I love her

Why would she go, knowing that I love her?
Why would she go, knowing that I need her?
She told me last night, she'd never hurt me
I don't believe she would desert me

Why would she go?
She know I can't live without her
Nawh, I won't believe it
No oh oh not my baby now now
You're trying to scare me now
Ain't ya?
See, we've been through so much together me and my baby and I wanna know this,
If you'll tell me this:

Why did she ... this morning
Then up and leave without a warning
Something's wrong here
Why am I crying?
Pleeeeeease tell me
Why would she go?
She knows I can't live without her

No, I won't believe it
You see, we got a little baby over here that need both of us
And I need my baby
Oooooh oooohh, we've been through so much together

To leave me like this
No, she would never
Go back to sleep
You're just a devil
And if she left here with another
I bet you my life it was her brother
She wouldn't go
She loves me 'cause she told me so
Ooooh oooh

Nooo, i won't believe it
She just went to the store
You see me and my baby
We got a little girl that needs her momma
And I need her momma
Ooooh oooh




We've been through too much together
I've been loving her, I've been loving her, I'be been loving her too looooong
