Is treating me cold
Where can my baby be?
Lord no one knows
Pain in my heart
Just won't let me sleep
Where can my baby be?
And now the days
Has began to get tough
Said I want you to come back, come back
Come back baby
I had enough, oh
A little pain in my heart
Just won't let me be
Wake up restless nights
Lord, and I can't even sleep
Hmm, yeah
Stop this little pain in my heart
And now the days
Has began to get rough
Said I want you to love me, love me, love me baby
Till I get enough, oh
Pain in my heart
Little pain in my heart
Stop this little pain in my heart
Stop this little pain in my heart
Someone stop this pain
Someone stop this pain, oh

Pain in my heart
There is an emotional distress that I'm experiencing
Is treating me cold
It's causing me to feel rejected and alone
Where can my baby be?
I'm missing my loved one and have no idea where they are
Lord no one knows
I feel helpless and lost in this situation
Just won't let me sleep
The emotional pain is causing me to lose sleep
And now the days
Recently
Has began to get tough
Things have become difficult
Said I want you to come back, come back
I'm pleading for my loved one to return
Come back baby
I miss you deeply
I had enough, oh
I can't handle the pain anymore
Just won't let me be
The emotional pain is constant and consuming
Wake up restless nights
I can't sleep through the night because of the pain
Hmm, yeah
A contemplative pause
Stop this little pain in my heart
I wish the emotional pain would disappear
Said I want you to love me, love me, love me baby
I feel unsupported in my emotional pain and want my loved one to show me affection
Till I get enough, oh
I need emotional support until I can handle this on my own
Little pain in my heart
A minor pain that affects me greatly
Someone stop this pain
I need help to overcome this emotional distress
