(I'd hurt myself, I'd hurt myself) Baby, baby, baby (Baby) Think of me sometimes (Baby) Because if loving you was so wrong (Baby) Then I'm guilty of this crime (Guilty, I'm guilty, I'm guilty) I'm bewildered, I'm lonely, and I'm loveless Without you to hold my hand (Reach out for me, boy) If you'd just understand (Reach out to me, right now) Those that we love, we foolishly make cry Then sometimes feel it's best to say goodbye, goodbye But what's inside can't be denied The power (Power of love) The power of love (Power of love) Is my only guide Baby (Oh) Baby (Oh) Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, this is just to say Just how much I'm really gonna miss you But believe, while I'm away (I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you) That I really didn't mean, I didn't mean, I didn't mean to hurt you Don't you know that, that I'd rather hurt myself? (I'd hurt myself) Baby, I need you, I need you, I need you (I need you, I need you, I need you) If I did you wrong, if I did you wrong (I'd hurt myself) I need you, I need you, I need you (I need you, I need you, I need you) If I did you wrong (I'd hurt myself) ************************************ Duration Legend W - whole; H - half; Q - quarter; E - 8th; S - 16th; a - acciaccatura; + - note tied to previous; . - note dotted; Duration letters will always appear directly above the note/fret number it represents the duration for.
