song: My Whole World Ended

artist: David Ruffin



Last week my life had meaning

It was beautiful and so sweet.

But now it's nothing, nothing without you, baby

My whole world is incomplete

'Cause I can't see you no more.

That was all that you said, baby.

But you just might as well have

Placed a gun to my head.



Baby, baby, why did you do it?

My whole world ended the moment you left me

Oh baby

My whole world ended the moment you left me

It tumbled to the ground baby.



Did you ever mean those sweet things

That you used to say?

Have a house and a lovely, a lovely daughter,

And a little baby some day.

Where did I go wrong, honey?

Whatever changed your mind, baby?

I've asked myself these questions

Over a million times.



Baby, baby, why did you leave me?

My whole world ended the moment you left me

Oh baby

My whole world ended the moment you left me

It tumbled to the ground baby.



Now my body is numb

It feels so senseless to the touch.

My life is wasted, wasted without you

I guess I loved you much too much.

How can I face tomorrow

When yesterday is all I see?

I just don't want to face tomorrow honey

If you're not sharing it with me.



Baby, baby, oh baby

My whole world ended... (fade)
