1. Babe, baby, baby, I'm gonna leave you.
I said baby, you know I'm gonna leave you.
I'll leave you when the summertime,
Leave you when the summertime comes arollin'
Leave you when the summer comes along.
2. Baby, baby, I don't wanna leave you,
I ain't jokin' woman, I got to ramble.
Oh, yeah, baby, baby, I wont be there,
Really got to ramble.
I can hear it callin' me the way it used to do,
I can hear it callin' me back home.
3. I know, I never leave you, baby.
But I got to go away from this place,
I've got to quit you.
Ooh, baby,
Baby, ooh don't you hear it callin'?
4. Woman, woman, I know, I know it's good to have you back again
And I know that one day baby, it's really gonna grow, yes it is.
We gonna go walkin' through the park every day.
Hear what I say, every day.
5. Baby, it's really growin', you made me happy
when the skies were grey.
But now I've got to go away
Baby, baby, baby, baby
That's when it's callin' me
That's when it's callin' me back home...
