Way gone for my sweet baby
So strong and I don’t mean maybe
If I’m wrong then I don’t know nothing
‘Cause I’m way gone for her sweet loving
Way gone she’s my one and only
So long to sad and lonely
She waltzed into my world
Now I’m way gone for my sweet girl
Oh if I’m half the man
My sweet baby thinks I am
I guess I better pack my bags
‘Cause I don’t plan on coming back
Way gone and I’ve crossed over
I’m lucky as a four leaf clover
I don’t want nobody to save me
‘Cause I way gone for my sweet baby
Oh if I’m half the man
My sweet baby thinks I am
I guess I better pack my bags
‘Cause I don’t plan on coming back
Way gone she’s a one-way ticket
Rock on gonna get down with it
Sweet lips and brunette curls
Yes I’m way gone for my sweet girl
Way gone for my sweet baby
So strong and I don’t mean maybe
If I’m wrong then I don’t know nothing
‘Cause I’m way gone for her sweet loving
Way gone – for my sweet baby
Way gone – and I don’t mean maybe
Rock on – Time to get down with it
Way gone
