Babe, baby, baby, I'm gonna leave you
I said baby, you know I'm gonna leave you
I'll leave you when the summertime
Leave you when the summer comes a-rollin'
Leave you when the summer comes along

Babe, babe, babe, babe, babe, babe, baby
Baby, I don't wanna leave you
But I ain't jokin' woman, I got to ramble
Oh yeah, baby, baby, I believin'

I can hear it callin' me the way it used to do
I can hear it callin' me back home

Baby, oh, I'm gonna leave you
Oh, baby, you know

Oh, I can hear it callin 'me
I said, don't you hear it callin' me
The way it used to do, oh

Never, never, never gonna leave your babe
I got to go away from this place
I've got to quit you, yeah

Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Ooh, don't you hear it callin' me?

Oh, woman, woman, I know, I know
It feels good to have you back again
And I know that one day, baby
It's gonna really grow, yes, it is

And we gonna go
Walkin' through the park every day
Come what may, every day, oh, mama
Mama, mama said, I'm gona leave you, go away

Baby, ooh, it was really good
You made me happy every single day
But now I've, I got to go away

Baby, baby, baby
