Babydoll Lyrics by Curtis Mayfield

Love Is the Place

1982

My dearest darling
If I could just bring back those special days
The days I had your loving ways
They haunt me now
The wrongs I've done
Now I'm the fool
The lonely one
I stand here now
Feeling so outside
I stand here now
Feeling so outside
I ask you now
Heart open wide
Babe
Hey babydoll
Don't ever leave me no
You're the spark that starts it all
And you're what makes me tippy toe
Ooh babe
Hey babydoll
If I could hold you now
Take me in
Don't let us lose it all
Let's start again
Don't let us fall
I never thought you'd grow to be
So far away from me
I cheated you so bad
You've got every right to say
Just go away, you cannot stay
Am I too late to give
To be so sensitive
Let our love live oh babe
Other eyes have blinded me
Now I can see and I can see
Babe
Hey babydoll
Don't ever leave me no
You're the spark that starts it all
And you're what makes me tippy toe
Ooh babe
Hey babydoll
If I could hold you now
Take me in
Don't let us lose it all
Let's start again
Don't let us fall
If I could only say
How much I love you babe
I love to squeeze you so
Lord knows
Lord knows I'll appreciate
That love we left
That love so rare
Oh
My heart is out
My arms want only you
I've learned my lesson well
If I have lost that special part of me
I tell myself, and everybody
Take time
To love the one you love
Don't be like me oh no
Take the time
It takes to love
The one who really loves you yeah
Take time
To love the one you love
Or you might lose her now
Take the time it takes
To love the one
The one who really, really loves you
Don't be like me no, no
Take the tiem
To love and to love
Take the time it takes to love
The one who really, who really really loves you
I've learned my lesson well
I tell myself and everybody
Take the time it takes
To love the one
The one who really, who really really loves you yeah
Take time to love
The one who really loves you
Take the time it takes
To love the one
Who really really loves you
Don't be no fool babe
Hey baby doll
I don't wanna lose you baby
I don't wanna lose you baby
