Midnight it's raining outside he must be soaking wet
Everyone is sleeping tight God knows I tried my best
But, darling you know it looks bad
Just lost the best thing that I ever had, well
Still I don't know why I did him wrong
It's too late now he's gone to say

[Chorus]
Said, baby oh no, can't leave me now
Said, said think about it please
'Cos I love you and I need you
And I should have thought of that before I did you wrong, before I did you wrong
I should have thought of that, before I did you wrong

Heartache, heartache yeah
When I saw his face I could see how bad I'd let him down
Cheating when he was working hard, I just had to mess around
I knew from the start he ain't got much money
I should have stayed content with all that good sweet honey
(I say) He's a good strong man and I, I love him so
So how on earth can I let him go

(Say whoa) Said, baby oh no, can't leave me now
Said, said think about it please 'cos I love you and I need you
And I should have thought of that before I did you wrong, before I did you wrong
I should have thought of that, before I did you wrong

And now it's midnight it's raining outside
And I'm soaking wet, still looking for that man of mine
And I ain't found him yet
Well all of this rain can wash away my tears
But nothing can replace all of those wasted years
In all of this I tell you I have learnt
Playing with fire gets you burnt
And I'm still burning

Said, baby oh no, can't leave me now
Said, said think about it please 'cos I love you and I need you
And I should have thought of that before I did you wrong, before I did you wrong
I should have thought of that, before I did you wrong

You say you'll lose your pride
Well don't you know dear, don't you know
I'll lose so much more if you go now
Oh no...
