Candi Staton - He Called Me Baby Lyrics






He called me baby, baby
All night long
Used to hold and kiss me
Till the dawn

Then one day I awoke
And he was gone
There's no more baby, baby
All night long

He called me baby, baby
All night long
Lord, I feel so empty
Since he's been gone

Now I lie here and I die here
Until the dawn
I miss my baby, baby, baby
All night long

He called me baby, baby, baby
All night long, yes, he did
Kiss my tears away
When things went wrong

What I'd give, what I'd give
If he'd come on back home
And call me baby, baby, baby
All night long, oh, yeah
Mmm hmm, yeah

He called me baby, baby
All night long
Held me up so high
And made me strong

Now each night in dreams

Just like a song
I can still hear baby, baby, baby
All night long

I can still hear
Baby, baby, baby, baby
All night long

I can still hear him
Calling me baby, baby, baby, baby
All night long

Oh, what you do
Is just hold me, baby
Squeeze me, baby
All night long

I just wanna hear you say baby

    Wow. I miss a strong female friend I have not been able to see. I hope she is not being abused or killing herself again and being disrespected like usual. I hope that she is happy and being loved the right way and not in harm's way like the many times before when men and jealous female's blame her and use her for everything. I hope she was happy or is wherever she is now. People I loved this much are either Dead or killed themselves. XO

  27. L.... G....

    Fabulous. Anyone have the lyrics please?

  28. M.... O....

    I LOVE this version. It was originally done in 1961 by Patsy Cline. They're both awesome singers 😊

  29. L.... C....

    The first persons to sing this song was Patsy Cline in 1964

    L.... C....

    And Candi Staton made it famous

  30. h.... ....

    sing it Candi...what a voice !

  31. m.... ....

    These southern soul and blues singers most recorded in Muscle Shoals AL. They are the best I love listening in the South we feel this ish here!

  32. R.... D....

    I like my singers without vibrato...that’s why I love candi!

  33. R.... C....

    No disrespect to Patsy Cline but step a side please

  34. R.... M....

    Audio sounds screwed up

  35. c.... c....

    This is phenomenal.
    So passionate, Blows my mind!

  36. D.... ....

    Candi Staton!!!!!

  37. P.... A....

    it's a pleasure to hear that sound and see that eyes

  38. n.... ....

    Brilliance

  39. J.... B....

    Clif small I don,t know you,and with your zero iq I don,t care to know you,you sound like an absolute damn idiot

  40. J.... B....

    The game 546444 I disagree,Candi staton is a great singer and performer,been a fan of hers for years,but nobody tops Aretha,Aretha is in a class to herself,everybody else comes under her,she,s the queen of soul music.

  41. J.... B....

    Mick Denis,you idiot,Whitney Houston ranks with all time greats,where have you been down Ina damn cave,you have no idea what you are talking about,and know nothing about music,you sound like a damn fool.

  42. k.... ....

    Written by country songwriter Harlan Howard

  43. M.... T....

    I remember my mom playing this song when i was young. Now she's gone and im 50 yrs old and i still listen to it. Classic for real.

    M.... T....

    I'm 59 and still listening. I rediscovered this when my first wife died 11 years ago.

    M.... T....

    That's real music and life stories

    M.... T....

    I miss my baby too- Great song.

  44. J.... B....

    Thegame546444 I agree that candi is good,but I want to bring you back to reality,NOBODY TOPS ARETHA,and that's not brag,thatS A FACT.

  45. A.... O....

    this is the sexiest song ever

  46. S.... S....

    a bit of Janis's 'Cry Baby' in it..
    makes it endurable

  47. c.... c....

    Chuck E Cheese did NOT make me smile with their FORCED ad.

  48. F.... S....

    Yesss Chile

  49. B.... T....

    This really happen to me

  50. E.... D....

    One of my favourite albums....xxxxxxxxxxx

  51. a.... l....

    2028 still listening

  52. f.... ....

    I was mesmerised by Led Zep at the time, plus, here in NZ we didn't get to hear this. I'm glad I eventually got to appreciate this awesomeness, even if I had to go the long route via Harlan, who is also great.

  53. F.... S....

    I love the part in the video where she blinks....

  54. J.... W....

    Jesus! Who plays bass on this?

    J.... W....

    The Muscle Shoals guys at the FAME studio in Florence, Alabama.

  64. C.... M....

    Who would ever have thought this started out as a country song?

    C.... M....

    So did Midnight Train To Georgia

  65. W.... ....

    Oh, how Candi has taken a song with standard melody and simple lyrics and transforms it into excellence second-to-none!

    Candi, let me be your baby - all night long.

    10::10

    W.... ....

    Now, the Blues has gotten to me oh, Candi! Do call ME your Baby!

    Don't allow "Suspicious Mind" ever to erase our imaginary adoration and love for each other, oh, Candi!

    "Stand By Your Man" always; it's I who have been calling you "Baby, all night long."

    It's "Just My Imagination Running Away With Me."

  66. D.... R....

    Still enjoying this in 2017- One of the great R&B/Pop&Soul soprano voices of all time. Too bad they don't make em like that anymore.

  67. N.... A....

    FANTASTIC !

  68. N.... A....

    FANTASTIC !

  69. T.... C....

    Even the cowboys listens to this stuff. I love it.

    T.... C....

  70. T.... ....

    I saw this song on a list, and I remembered it instantly as a song that I loved tremendously back in 1970.

  71. A.... L....

    THE best.

  87. M.... L....

    Ah BABY ..🎼🔥

  88. h.... m....

    After about 45 years this song still sounds soooooooo good. Candi, Clarence Carter and I are Alabama connected. They most definitely can't sing no wrong. Bottom Line Love Them to the Moon.

    h.... m....

    So why did Carter treat her so wrong?

  89. a.... N....

  90. f.... ....

    Just recently discovered this artist. I was surprised to hear this number that I knew as a country song written in 1961 by Harlan Howard done in this style, but it works really well. I guess Ray Charles was onto something!
