You're Still My Baby

(album: Complete & Unbelievable: The Otis Redding Dictionary Of Soul - 1966)

You're gone away and you done left me alone, yeah
I've got nobody to call my own
I believe it's bye bye, baby, yeah
I wish you a lot of luck, darling
But you're still my baby
My, my, my baby

Told you I love you, honey, yes, I did
And then many, many, many times again, yeah
I've always played a losing hand
But it's bye, bye, bye, baby
That's what you're telling me
I wish you a lot of luck, darling
But I'm letting you know you're still my baby
Ooh yeah

You may be, yes you may be
A thousand miles away, yeah
No matter how far or you may be
Looking at me somewhere
Right here in this town, Lord, Lord
But tell me all I, all I, all I want to know, know
Tell me, tell me what did I do, honey?
Why, why, why did you put me down?
Darling, darling

Somebody, somebody help me out of all this pain, yeah
But I've always played a losing game
But it's bye bye, baby, yeah
That's what you telling
Lots of luck, darling
But I want you to know
That you're still my baby, my baby, my baby, yeah
You're still my baby, yeah
I want you to know
No matter where you go
No matter where I see you
I want you to be my baby
No matter what in the world you do
Honey, I want you to be my baby
No matter how big you get
I want you to be my baby
No matter what road you take
You can always come back and be my baby
