[Verse 1]
I'm like a blind man who lost his way
I can't see nothin'
I'm like a deaf man who can't relay
Yeah, I can't hear nothin'

[Chorus]
You see the trouble with me
I can't do nothin' without my baby
And as plain as can be
It's gonna drive me crazy

[Verse 2]
I walk the lonely streets late at night
Cold and lonely
Everything I do is wrong, never right
I'm lonely for her only

[Chorus]
See the trouble with me
I can't do nothin' without my baby
And as plain as can be
It's gonna drive me crazy

[Outro]
See the trouble with me
I can't do nothin' without my baby
And as plain as can be
It's gonna drive me crazy
See the trouble with me
I can't do nothin' without my baby
And as plain as can be
It's gonna drive me crazy

Barry White

Barry White (born Barry Carter) was a Grammy-winning singer and producer born in Galveston, Texas, who has sold over 100 million albums and is known for his distinctive smooth, deep, soulful voice – earning him the nickname “the walrus of love”. White has earned an astounding 106 gold albums, 41 of which also attained platinum status.

At eight years old, White sang in his church choir. But by the age of sixteen, his brother had been murdered in a gang fight, he’d quit school, had two children and was sitting in jail when hearing Elvis Presley’s “It’s Now Or Never” inspired him to fly straight and pursue a career in music. He played bass for The Upfronts before releasing music under the name Barry White and as Lee Barry.

White found his first success as a writer and producer in the late 1960s with Felice Taylor’s UK hit “I Feel Love Coming On”. Then his soul trio Love Unlimited reached the US top 20 with their first single “Walkin' in the Rain with the One I Love” in 1972. White scored his own top ten hit the following year with “I’m Gonna Love You Just a Little More Baby”, then his first #1 with “Love’s Theme” under the name of his backing band Love Unlimited Orchestra in early 1974.
