(I'm in a world of darkness, I can't see no light.)

The sun maybe shining, sunny and bright.
But I rather that than the darkness of the night.
For me the stars up above refuse to shine.
Since I lost that precious baby of mine.
Since I lost that precious baby of mine.

Ah, ah, ah, oh, 'bout to tell you.
(I'm in a world of darkness, I can't see no light.)

Woo, the month of May, may bring blossom to the trees.
But all of this beauty I'm much too blind to see.
Take away my sight it's no good to me.
'Cause loneliness is my destiny.
Lone-loneliness is my destiny.

And I feel like crying, crying.
Ow, almost dying, dying, dying, dying, dying.
She left me in a world of darkness, darkness,
Ooo, when she took her sweet love away from me.
Oh yeah, when she took her sweet love, darling, away from me.

Ooo, I walk the streets a night with no destination.
Since she's been gone I have no inspiration.
When I stop to see just what she's done to me,
I see tear stained eyes, ow, cloudy skies,
I'm a lonely man, just a half a man that need his baby.

So feel like crying, crying.
Woo, feel like dying, dying, dying, dying, dying.
The girl she left me in a state of confusion and darkness.
Ow, when she took her sweet love away fom me, oh yeah.
Why did you take your sweet love away from me

Ooo, why did you take it, baby
In my heart I'm crying.
Ow, Lord have mercy, I feel like dying, dying, dying, dying.
She left me in a state of confusion and darkness.
Girl, why, why, why did you take your love
Oh baby, why did you take your love away from me
Ooo (Since she took her love away from me)

I'm in a world of darkness, I can't see no light.
No satisfaction, baby, nowhere in sight.
I'm a lonely man, just a half a man, that needs his baby.
And I feel like crying.
I'm in a world of darkness.
I'm all alone, baby, when she took her love.
Why did you take your love
Why take your love, baby, away from me

I feel like crying in the morning. (In the morning)
Ow, crying in the evening.
Oh baby, ow, feel like dying, dying, dying, dying, dying, dying.
You left me in a world of confusion an darkness.
Ow, why did you take it baby
Why did you take your love away fom me

Ooo, why did you take your sweet love away fom me.
I'm crying, I feel like dying.

I'm crying, (I'm crying)
In a world of darkness. (Uh huh)
I'm crying, (I'm crying)
Can't see no light. (Can't see no light)
I'm crying, (I'm crying)
No satisfaction in sight. (No satisfaction)

Ow, crying, oh, oh baby.
I feel like dying.
Ahh, Lord have mercy, I feel like crying, crying, crying, crying.
You left me in world, in a world of confusion.
Ow, don't take it, don't take it, don't take it away from me.
Oh baby, don't take it away from me.
Ow, good God, don't take it away from me.
