[Verse 1]
I did you wrong
My heart went out to play
But in the game I lost you
What a price to pay, hey
I'm cryin'
[Chorus]
Ooh oo-ooh baby baby
Ooh oo-ooh baby baby
[Verse 2]
Mistakes, I know I've made a few
But I'm only human
You've made mistakes too
I'm crying
[Chorus]
Ooh oo-ooh baby baby
Ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh baby baby
[Bridge]
I'm just about at the end of my rope
But I can't stop trying, I can't give up hope
Because I feel one day I'll hold you near
Whisper I still love you until that day is here
I'm cryin'
[Chorus - outro]
Ooh oo-ooh baby baby
Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh baby baby
Ooh oo-ooh baby baby
Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh baby baby
Ooh ooh ooh ooooooh
I did you wrong
My heart went out to play
But in the game I lost you
What a price to pay, hey
I'm cryin'
[Chorus]
Ooh oo-ooh baby baby
Ooh oo-ooh baby baby
[Verse 2]
Mistakes, I know I've made a few
But I'm only human
You've made mistakes too
I'm crying
[Chorus]
Ooh oo-ooh baby baby
Ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh baby baby
[Bridge]
I'm just about at the end of my rope
But I can't stop trying, I can't give up hope
Because I feel one day I'll hold you near
Whisper I still love you until that day is here
I'm cryin'
[Chorus - outro]
Ooh oo-ooh baby baby
Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh baby baby
Ooh oo-ooh baby baby
Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh baby baby
Ooh ooh ooh ooooooh
