Uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, oh
Why'd you have to go away from home, me love?
Uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, oh
Why'd you have to go away from home, me love?

See the first time me lookin' at your eyes
Me be tell you want a guy like me
We use to have good times on da evenin'
Me an' you chillin' on da beach

We use to kiss and caress an' trust me girl
It feels so sweet
Den one day you move now I'm feelin' kinda blue
'Cause we had to see you leave

I feel like I'm drownin' in da ocean
Somebody, come and take me away

Uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, oh
Why'd you have to go away from home, me love?
Uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, oh
Why'd you have to go away from home, me love?

Now I'm sittin' in a chair wit no one here an' I'm feelin' all alone
Thinkin' to myself like, "Damn, why my baby up and gone?"
It's like I'm missin' her and I know she's missin' me
It's been two years an' a half, an' July will make it three

I feel like I'm drownin' in da ocean
Somebody, come and take me away

Uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, oh
Why'd you have to go away from home, me love?
Uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, oh
Why'd you have to go away from home, me love?

Why you leave me? Wh-why you leave me?
Baby tell me, ba-baby tell me
Why you leave me? Wh-why you leave me?
Why you leave me?

Why you leave me? Wh-why you leave me?
Baby tell me, ba-baby tell me
Why you leave me? Wh-why you leave me?
Why you leave me?

I feel like I'm drownin' in da ocean
Somebody, come and take me away

Uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, oh
Why'd you have to go away from home, me love?
Uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, oh
Why'd you have to go away from home, me love?

Uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, oh
Why'd you have to go away from home, me love?
Uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, oh
Why'd you have to go away from home, me love?
