Chorus:
                 F     G
How you make me worry baby
                 C             A#

Baby

Baby sweet baby
I've been waiting
Seem like waiting is all I do
Don't say you won't come back to me
And make me have to go out chasing after you

Chorus:
We get in a fight
You stay out late
You have no idea
How much you make me worry baby
Called everyone in town
I think you know
So come on now
Come on come on
Back home

Baby sweet baby
I'm a fool in love
But I still got my pride too
I'll wait a little longer
I'll suffer for my heart
Then I'll go find someone to worry about me
As much as I worry about you

Chorus:
How you make me worry baby
How you make me worry about you
Here I am I'm knowing
That I can't live without you
Here I am thinking
Someday we make this a long time thing
Here I am I'm knowing
That I would do most anything
If you keep on loving me
Baby

Baby sweet baby
Won't you please
Come on back home to me
I've been so lonely
These few days feel like
A hundred years
