I've been crying (boo hoo)
'Cause I'm lonely (for you)
Smiles have altered (to tears)
But tears won't wash away (the fear)

That you're never, ever gonna return
To ease the fire that within me burns
Keeps me crying, baby, for you
Keeps me sighing, baby, for you
So won't you hurry,
C'mon, boy, see about me
(Come see about me)
Come see about your baby
(Come see about me)

I've given up my friends just for you
My friends are all gone, and you have too
No more peace shall I find
Until you come back and be mine

No matter what you do or say
I'm gonna love you anyway
Keep on crying, baby, for you
I'm gonna keep on sighing, baby, for you
So won't you hurry,
C'mon, boy, see about me
(Come see about me)
Come see about your baby
(Come see about me)

Sometimes love (mm-hmm)
Sometimes doubt (mm-hmm)
My life's so uncertain (mm-hmm)
With you not around (mm-hmm)

From my arms, you may be out of reach
But my heart says you're here to keep
Keeps me crying, baby, for you
Keep on crying, baby, for you
So won't you hurry,
C'mon, boy, see about me
(Come see about me)
Come see about your baby
(Come see about me)

You know, I'm so lonely
(Come see about me)
I love you only
(Come see about me)
See about your baby
(Come see about me)
