              Bb 
He called me baby, baby 
Eb 
All night long 
Bb 
Used to hold and kiss me 
     F 
Till the dawn 
 
Bb 
Then one day I awoke 
Eb 
And he was gone 
F 
There's no more baby, baby 
Bb 
All night long 
 
Bb 
He called me baby, baby 
Eb 
All night long 
Bb 
Lord, I feel so empty 
F 
Since he's been gone 
 
Bb 
Now I lie here and I die here 
Eb 
Until the dawn 
F 
I miss my baby, baby, baby 
Bb 
All night long 
 
Eb 
He called me baby, baby, baby 
Bb 
All night long, yes, he did 
Bb 
Kiss my tears away 
F 
When things went wrong 
 
Bb 
What I'd give, what I'd give 
Eb 
If he'd come on back home 
F 
And call me baby, baby, baby 
Bb 
All night long, oh, yeah 
Mmm hmm, yeah 
 
Bb 
He called me baby, baby 
Eb 
All night long 
Bb 
Held me up so high 
F 
And made me strong 
 
Bb 
Now each night in dreams 
Eb 
Just like a song 
F 
I can still hear baby, baby, baby 
Bb 
All night long 
 
F 
I can still hear 
Baby, baby, baby, baby 
Bb 
All night long 
I can still hear him 
F 
Calling me baby, baby, baby, baby 
Bb 
All night long 
Oh, what you do 
F 
Is just hold me, baby 
Squeeze me, baby 
Bb 
All night long 
I just wanna hear you say baby
