I wake up crying

After tossin' and turnin'

And a-yearnin' the whole night long

Pretty baby since you went away

I haven't spent a happy day



I wake up crying

After sobbin' and sighin'

And a-wonderin' just what went wrong

Pretty baby I was good to you

Why'd you go and make me blue



I need your arms to hold me tight

I need your sweet lips to kiss me goodnight

I'm so unhappy on my own

Don't don't leave me sad and lonely



I wake up crying

After tossin' and turnin'

And a-yearnin' the whole night long

Pretty baby please come back to me

Save me from this mesery

Oh baby won'tcha save me from this mesery

Please baby won'tcha save me from this mesery
