The sun maybe shining sunny and bright

But my world is black like the the darkness of the night

For me the stars up above refuse to shine

Since I lost that precious baby of mine

Since I lost that precious baby of mine The month of May, may bring blossoms to the trees

But all of this beauty I'm much to blind to see

Take away my sight it's no good to me

'Cause loneliness is my destiny

Lonely loneliness is my destiny And I feel like crying, crying

Almost dying, dying, dying, dying She left me in a world of darkness, darkness

When she took her sweet love away from me, oh yeah

She took her sweet love away from me I walk the street at night with no destination

Since she been gone I have no inspiration

When I stop to see just what she's done to me

I see tear stained eyes, cloudy skies

I'm lonely man, just a half of man that needs his baby So I feel like crying, crying

Feel like dying, dying, dying, dying, dying

The girl she left me in a state of confusion and darkness

When she took her sweet love away from me, oh yeah

Why did you take your sweet love away from me

Ooh why did you take it, baby? In my heart I'm crying, sometimes I feel like dying, dying, dying, dying

She left me I a state of confusion and darkness

Girl, why, why, why did you take your love?

Oh baby, why did you take your love away from me? I'm a world of darkness, can't see no light

No satisfaction, baby, nowhere in sight

I'm a lonely man

Just a half a man

That needs his baby

And I feel like crying

I'm in a world of darkness

I'm all alone, baby

Once she took her love

Why you take your love?

Why you take your love, baby, away from me?

I fell like crying in the morning

Crying in the evening Oh baby, feel like dying, dying, dying, dying, dying, dying

You left me in a world of confusion and darkness

Why did you take it baby?

Why did you take your love away from me?

Why did you take your sweet love away from me?

I'm crying, I feel like dying I'm crying, in a world of darkness

I'm crying, can't see no light

I'm crying, no satisfaction in sight

I'm crying, oh baby, I feel like dying

Lord have mercy, I feel like crying, crying, crying, crying She left me in a world, in a world of confusion

Don't take it, don't take it, don't take it a way from me

Oh baby, don't take it away from me

Good God, don't take it away from me
