Baby, It's You

Words & Music:

Mack David, Burt Bacharach & Barney Williams

 

This was the hit in 1969 for the one-hit wonder band "Smith" (Gayle McCormick on vocals), but was originally a hit for The Shirelles.

 

It's not the way you smile that touched my heart.

It's not the way you kissed that tears me apart.

 

Many, many, many nights go by.

I sit alone at home and cry over you.  What can I do?

Don't want nobody, nobody 'cause, baby, it's you.  Baby, it's you.

 

Is it true what they say about you?

They say you'll never, ever, never be true.

It doesn't matter what they say.

I know I'm gonna love you any old way.

What can I do?  What 'bout you?

Don't want nobody, nobody.  Baby, it's you.  Baby, it's you.

 

It doesn't matter what they say.

I know I'm gonna love any old way.

What can I do?  What 'bout you?

Don't want nobody, nobody.  Baby, it's you.  Baby, it's you.

 

Don't leave me alone.  Come on home.

Baby, it's you.  Baby, it's you.

You know I need your lovin', you know I love you.

Baby, it's you.  Baby...
