Oh, baby

Oh, i, i'm a happy man

But if the day ever came
When i couldn't call out your name
Oh, my life would never be the same

Can you hear me, baby

I swear before god

My life would never be the same

Oh, baby, you see because

Without you, baby
Who made me what i am
And without your love, baby

My life wouldn't be worth a dime

I said without you in my life

It would never be the same
Can you hear me, baby


I swear before god
My life would never be the same


Woo ee, lord, have mercy

Now every man i know

Has something that he loves
And he wouldn't put nothing
In this big wide world above


You see, some men love cars, yeah
Some men love diamond rings

Some men love a whole lotta women
Others love fancy flashy things


But me, if i had just one wish
Ooh, my dear, it would be just this
If i could live for a thousand years

I'd spend all those years with you
Now can you hear me, baby


Cause without you in life
Girl, i just wouldn't know what to do
Now can you hear me, baby


We've been together so long
You been my mother

You been my sister
You been my brother
Oh, you been my father too
