I'm wailing my heart out*
for that baby of mine
I'm wailing my heart out
these tears clouding the sunshine
she don't care
she ain't aware
of the wailing
in my heart's empty hole
that she's left so bare
day after day
this old wailing
has me on the decline
without her loving touch
to make my heart feel fine
wailing
wailing
wailing
all of the time
wailing
wailing
wailing
my life's paradigm
I'm wailing my heart out
for that baby of mine
I'm wailing my heart out
these tears clouding the sunshine
clouding the sunshine
clouding the sunshine
wailing
wailing
wailing
*for that baby of mine
for that baby of mine
I'm wailing my heart out
these tears clouding the sunshine
she don't care
she ain't aware
of the wailing
in my heart's empty hole
that she's left so bare
day after day
this old wailing
has me on the decline
without her loving touch
to make my heart feel fine
wailing
wailing
wailing
all of the time
wailing
wailing
wailing
my life's paradigm
I'm wailing my heart out
for that baby of mine
I'm wailing my heart out
these tears clouding the sunshine
clouding the sunshine
clouding the sunshine
wailing
wailing
wailing
*for that baby of mine
