Who’s Lovin’ You – Lyrics

When I had you
I treated you bad and wrong, my dear
And, girl, since, since you went away
Don’t you know I sit around
With my head hangin’ down
And I wonder who’s lovin’ you
I should have never ever made you cry
And, girl, since, since you’ve been gone
Don’t you know I sit around
With my head hangin’ down
And I wonder who’s lovin’ you
Life without love
It’s all so lonely
I don’t think, I don’t think
I’m gonna make it
All my life, all my life, yeah
Belongs to you all, lady
Come on and take it, girl
Come on and take it
Because all, all I can do, all I can do
Since you’ve been gone is cry
