"Sweet Sweet Baby (Since You've Been Gone)"
(originally by Aretha Franklin)
(from "RESPECT" soundtrack)


Baby, baby, sweet baby
There's something that I just got to say
Baby, baby, sweet baby
You left me hurtin' in a real cold way

Speak your name
And I feel a thrill
You said, "I do"
Hey, and I said, "I will"

I told you to just be true
And give me just a little time
Wait on me, baby, I want you to be all mine
I just get so blue

Since you've been gone
(Why'd you do it? Why'd you have to do it?)
Oh, yeah
Since you've been gone
(Why'd you do it? Why'd you have to do it?)

Baby, baby, sweet baby (Sweet, sweet)
I didn't mean to run you away
It was pride on my lips but not in my heart
To say the things that made you stray

But, oh, baby
Hear me now (Hear me)
I don't know what I'm gonna do (Hear me)
Got to get you back somehow (Hear me now)

I'm prayin', take me back
Consider me please
If you walk in that door, I can get up off my knees
I've just been so blue

Since you've been gone
(Why'd you do it? Why'd you have to do it?)
Oh, yeah
Since you've been gone
(Why'd you do it? Why'd you have to do it?)

I've been so lonely
(Sweet-sweet, sweet-sweet baby)
Since you've been gone
(Sweet-sweet, sweet-sweet baby)
I've been so lonely
(Why'd you do it? Why'd you have to do it?)
Since you've been gone
(Why'd you do it? Why'd you have to do it?)
