It’s not the way you smile that touched my heart
It’s not the way you kiss that tears my apart

But how many many many nights go by
I sit alone at home and cry over you
What can I do
Can’t help myself
Cause baby it’s you
Baby it’s you

You should hear what they say about you (cheat, cheat)
They say, they say you never never ever been true (cheat, cheat)

Wo ho, it doesn’t matter what they say
I know I’m gonna love you any old way
What can I do, then it’s true
Don’t want nobody, nobody
Cause baby it’s you
Baby it’s you

Wo ho, it doesn’t matter what they say
I know I’m gonna love you any old way
What can I do, then it’s true
Don’t want nobody, nobody
Cause baby it’s you
Baby it’s you
Don’t leave me all alone
