(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)



Ooh baby love, my baby love

I need you, oh how I need you

But all you do is treat me bad

Break my heart and leave me sad

Tell me, what did I do wrong

To make you stay away so long



'Cause baby love, my baby love

Been missing ya, miss kissing ya

Instead of breaking up

Let's do some kissing and making up

Don't throw our love away

In my arms why don't you stay

Need ya, need ya

Baby love, ooh, baby love



Baby love, my baby love

Why must we seperate, my love

All of my whole life through

I never loved no one but you

Why you do me like you do

I get this need



Ooh, ooh, need to hold you

Once again, my love

Feel your warm embrace, my love

Don't throw our love away



Please don't do me this way

Not happy like I used to be

Loneliness has got the best of me

My love, my baby love



I need you, oh how I need you

Why you do me like you do

After I've been true to you

So deep in love with you



Baby, baby, ooh 'til it's hurtin' me

'Til it's hurtin' me

Ooh, baby love

Don't throw our love away

Don't throw our love away
