I loved the vocals on the original Babe...., my daughter said they sounded like they belonged in a smoke-filled bar, so I thought I would try a different version. The spare sound reflects the instruments you might expect on this bar.
Lyrics
V1
So my baby’s left me on my own
There ain’t no love when you’re all alone
He said he just can’t carry on
He’s packed his bags and now he’s gone.
V2
My baby’s left me for someone new
I thought he loved me through and through
He said he loves another one
He’s moved on out and now we’re done
V3
We’ve been together all these years,
I never thought it’d end in tears.
I love you and I miss you so
I’m begging you, please don’t go
So Babe
Oh babe please come back to me
Babe
Oh babe won’t you come back to me
V4
My baby’s left and I don’t care
there ain’t no fuss now he’s ‘outta my hair
it’s easy just to carry on
I’m better off now he has gone
V5
I have new man care for me
he loves me so and that’s the key
I have a new man care for me
He loves me and we’ll soon be three
V6
We’ve been together for so long
He loves me like I can do no wrong
I love him like I’ve never loved
I hug him like I’ve never hugged
So babe
Oh babe please stay close to me
Oh babe
Oh babe won’t you stay close to me
