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 deep 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've cared just a little bit more

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

I shouldn't have 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

kissin' you and holding you so tight

How I wish that I could be with you right now

I'd give anything to see your smile, smile



But I'm all alone

And all the 'should've'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
