Where Did Our Love Go?

Words & Music:

Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier & Edward Holland, Jr.

 

C                      G

Baby, baby, baby don't leave me.

G7                Dm                G

Ooh, please don't leave me all by myself.

 

I've got this yearning, burning, yearning feelin' inside me.

Ooh, deep inside me and it hurts so bad.

 

You came into my heart so tenderly

With a burning love that stings like a bee.

 

Now, that I surrender so helplessly.

You now wanna leave, ooh, you wanna leave me.

 

Ooh, baby, baby, where did our love go?

Ooh, don't you want me?  Don't you want me no more?

 

Ooh, baby, baby, baby, where did our love go,

And all your promises of a love forever more?

 

I've got this yearning, burning, yearning feelin' inside me.

Ooh, deep inside me and it hurts so bad.

 

Before you won my heart, you were a perfect guy.

But now that you got me, you wanna leave me behind.

 

Baby, baby, ooh baby, baby, baby don't leave me.

Ooh, please don't leave me all by myself

 

Ooh, baby, baby, where did our love go?

 

[repeat verse chords & out over vocal improv]
