 Baby, baby,

I'm a-ware of where you go,
Gm             Adim
 Each time you leave my door.

Dm7               G
 I watch you walk down the street,
Dm7                 G
 Knowing your other love you'll meet.

Bridge 1:

C                          Em
 But this time, before you run to her,
Dm7           Fdim
 Leaving me a-lone and hurt;

         C
Think it over,
F                C
 After I've been good to you.

 I've known of your, your secluded nights,
Gm                  Adim
 I've even seen her maybe once or twice.

Dm7               G
 But is her sweet expression,
Dm7                 G
 Worth more than my love and affection?

 But this time before you leave my arms,
Dm7           Fdim

 Haven't I been good to you?

 Hoping you'd stop this infatuation.

Dm7             G
 But each time, you are together,
Dm7                    G
 I'm so afraid I'll be losing you forever.

 Before you, break my heart.

 Before you, break my heart.
