[Verse 1]
Baby baby baby
Ain't gon lie to you
Girl, you made a big mistake
Yes you did
Now I'm going crazy crazy crazy
'Cause I am thinking 'bout you night and day, yeah

[Chorus]
I keep callin' your name
'Cause it just ain't the same
Can't get you outta my head
Things have changed since you left
I keep hoping someday
You'll come running my way
Where are you, baby?
Are you coming coming back to me?
Are you coming home?

[Verse 2]
What was I thinking of?
Disrespecting your love
Must've been the fool in me
No, I never meant to hurt you (no, I never)
Never meant to desert you (shoulda never)
Now Im all alone
And Im so sorry sorry sorry

[Chorus]
I keep callin' your name
'Cause it just ain't the same
Can't get you outta my head
Things have changed since you left
I keep hoping someday
You'll come running my way
Where are you, baby?
Are you coming coming back to me?
Are you coming home?

[Bridge]
A man is only home
When he's got a woman to call his own
So imagine how I feel without you with me
I can't be myself
I keep wishing I was someone else
Instead of being here without you (here with me)

[Chorus]
I keep callin' your name
'Cause it just ain't the same
Can't get you outta my head
Things have changed since you left
I keep hoping someday
You'll come running my way
Where are you, baby?
Are you coming coming back to me?
Are you coming home?

I keep callin' your name
'Cause it just ain't the same
Can't get you outta my head
Things have changed since you left
I keep hoping someday
You'll come running my way
Where are you, baby?
Are you coming coming back to me?
Are you coming home?

Can't get you outta my head
Things have changed since you left

Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds (born April 10, 1959 in Indianapolis, Indiana) is a Grammy Award-winning producer, singer, and songwriter responsible for a string of hits in the 1980s and 1990s. He has written and produced more than 20 number-one hits and won 11 Grammys—including three for Producer of the Year—for his work with Boyz II Men, Whitney Houston, Eric Clapton, Alicia Keys, and Toni Braxton, as well as his own work as an artist.

Babyface got his nickname from funk legend Bootsy Collins after joining his backing band in the 1970s. He joined the group Manchild in the late ‘70s—a group that also included his frequent collaborator Daryl Simmons—before moving out West and working with the group The Deele in the early 1980s, forming a bond with his bandmate and future production partner L.A. Reid. After producing the hit “Two Occasions” for The Deele, L.A. & Babyface broke off and became one of the biggest superproducer duos in R&B, rivaling the hits of fellow superproducer duo Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis.

L.A. & ‘Face had their hands in a string of #1 R&B hits in the late '80s and early '90s from artists such as Pebbles (“Girlfriend”), Karyn White (“Superwoman”), The Whispers (“Rock Steady”), Johnny Gill (“My, My, My”) and many more. They were also instrumental in the success of post-New Edition era Bobby Brown as they produced his #1 hits “Don’t Be Cruel,” “Every Little Step,” “On Our Own,” and “Humpin' Around.” They made history with Boyz II Men in 1992 as they wrote and produced “End of the Road,” which spent a record-breaking 14 consecutive weeks atop the pop chart.
