I'm crying,
I'm crying,
Crying for sharleena.
Don't you know?

I called up all my baby's friends
And asked them,
Where she done went.
But nobody around here seems to know,
Where my sharleena has been.
Where my sharleena has been.

I'm crying,
I'm crying,
Crying for sharleena.
Can't you see?

I called up all my baby's friends
And asked them,
Where she done went.
But nobody around here seems to know,
Where my sharleena has been.
Where my sharleena has been.

Ten long years i been lovin' her.
Ten long years and i thought deep down in my heart she was mine.
Ten long years i beloved her.
Ten long years and i would call her my baby.
And now, i'm always crying.

Ugh!
Ugh!

I would be so delighted.
I would be so delighted.
If they would just
Send her on home to me.

I would be so delighted.
I would be so delighted.
If they would just
Send her on home to me.

Send my baby home to me!
Send my baby home to me!
Send my baby home.
Send my baby home to me!
