[Intro]
Oh yeah
Oh girl, oh girl, oh girl, oh girl
Oh yeah, hmm, hmm, yeah
Listen, baby

[Verse 1]
Waiting for the sunshine
Standing out in the rain
Trying to forgive myself
For causing you pain
Used to have a sweet thing
With the sweetest girl around
It's hard to keep on going on
Knowing that I let you down

[Pre-Chorus]
Bluebirds don't sing
Skies above are gray
What can I do?
I'm so lonely without you
Without your smile
Make my gray skies blue
Nothing compares to you

[Chorus]
Since I lost you, girl
You know my head's been spinning round
Ever since I lost you, girl
You know my heart it can't be found
Living life without you, girl
Ain't no sun up in my sky, no no no
Ever since I lost you, girl
I been crying crying crying

[Verse 2]
Winter turns to springtime
Flowers bloom after rain
What if we tried starting out
All over again
I just can't be giving up
Your love without a fight, no no no
Girl you know I still believe
That we can find the light

[Pre-Chorus]
Look to the sun
Open up your heart
Love finds a way
Gonna see a brighter day
If you believe
Won't you take my hand
And give me another chance

[Chorus]
Since I lost you, girl
You know my head's been spinning round
Ever since I lost you, girl
You know my heart it can't be found
Living life without you, girl
Ain't no sun up in my sky, no no no
Ever since I lost you, girl
I been crying crying crying

[Bridge]
I want you back
Baby, take my hand
Let's give love another chance

[Chorus]
Since I lost you, girl
You know my head's been spinning round
Ever since I lost you, girl
You know my heart it can't be found
Living life without you, girl
Ain't no sun up in my sky, no no no
Ever since I lost you, girl
I been crying crying crying
Since I lost you, girl
You know my head's been spinning round
Ever since I lost you, girl
You know my heart it can't be found
Living life without you, girl
Ain't no sun up in my sky, no no no
Ever since I lost you, girl
I been crying crying crying
Ever since I lost you, girl
I been crying crying crying

Tevin Campbell is a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter that got his career started with two big names in music—first working with Quincy Jones in 1989 on “Tomorrow (A Better You, Better Me)” from the album Back on the Block and then working with Prince on “Round and Round” from the Graffiti Bridge soundtrack in 1990.

His debut album T.E.V.I.N. was released on November 19, 1991 and features the #1 R&B hits “Tell Me What You Want Me To Do” and “Alone With You,” which helped the album go platinum and earn Tevin a Grammy nomination for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance. His next album I’m Ready was released on October 26, 1993 and featured the Babyface-produced hits “Can We Talk” and “I’m Ready.” This album went double platinum and led to three more Grammy nominations for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for “Can We Talk,” Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for “I’m Ready,” and Best R&B Album.

Tevin’s third album Back to the World was released on June 25, 1996 and he followed that up with the release of a self-titled album on February 23, 1999. He appeared in the Broadway musical Hairspray in 2005 and after some guest appearances on various shows throughout the years, he released the song “Safer on the Ground” in 2016.
