[Verse 1]
Mmm, when I had your love I was a king
Yeah, you were my diamond, and you were my pearl
And I bragged to the guys about my wonderful girl
[Chorus]
And now you’re gone and all my riches turned to rags
Gone and I don’t have no cause to brag
But when I had your love I was a king, oh yes I was
[Verse 2]
When I had your love I used to smile
And the smile I wore was a definite sign
That love was mine, and I was feeling fine
[Chorus]
Now you’re gone and now my smile has turned around
Gone and now my smile is just a frown
When I had your love I used to smile, mmm-hmm
[Bridge]
Honey, baby
Dark nights keep on falling
My lonely heart keeps calling
Baby, come on back (Come right on back)
Baby, come on back (Come right on back)
[Chorus]
Hey, when I, hey, woo-hoo
[Verse 3]
When I had your love I was content
My life was sweeter than peaches and cream
It was so wonderful, just like a dream
[Chorus]
Since you’re gone, I haven’t had another sweet day
Gone and all my dreams have faded away
Oh, when I had your love I was content, oh yeah
[Outro]
Baby, I need you
Right now, mmm-hmm
