I saw my baby one morning, and she was walkin’ on down the street
I saw my baby one morning, and she was walkin’ on down the street
You know it hurt me, hurt me so bad, it made my poor heart skip a beat
I got a real real bad feelin’, that my baby she don’t love me no more
I got a real real bad feelin’, that my baby she don’t love me no more
You know the sky, the sky’s been cryin’, can you see the tears roll down my nose
