Pain in my heart
Treating me poor
Where can my baby be?
Lord, no one knows

Pain in my heart
Won't let me sleep
Where can my baby be?
Lord, where is she?

And one day
My days are getting tough
Won't you come back, come back, come back, baby?
Lord...

Pain in my heart
Won't let me be, oh
I wake up restless nights in misery, Lord

Won't somebody stop this pain?


Lord, one day
My days are getting tough
Won't you love me, love me, love me, baby?

Pain in my heart
Pain in my heart - somebody stop this
Pain in my heart

It's killing me, baby
This pain in my heart

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Pain in my heart

This pain in my heart
