Baby Love - The Supremes

Baby Love is one the 2 million classic Motown hits, this one from the Supremes. Always a pleasure to sing along, and everybody can sing along.

C - C7 - A - Dm7

Dm7 - C - F - C

F -C - F, Em - Dm, G7

Play again 3 times Then there is a break after G7 where you play twice C#. Then start the loop again starting on C#, so C#, C#7, A# ...

Notes

You can replace the F with F9 / F6 / F11 to add some flavour, and add Em7 and/or Dm7 for Em and Dm.

If you play it with just an acoustic guitar by yourself, I would recommend to play it with downstrokes on the beat, so you can hit 4 times each chord, unless there are two chords on the measure (F, Em - Dm, G7).

If you play it on a band, or on a similar way than the record, which is on beat 2 and 4 of the measure (1,2,3,4); then play the downward loop just one time of beat 1 for F, Em - Dm, G7.

Lyrics:


C C7
Baby love, my baby love
A Dm7
I need you, oh how I need you!
Dm7 C
But all you do is treat me bad
F C
Break my heart and leave me sad
F C
Tell me, what did I do wrong?
F Em Dm G7

To make you stay away so long

'Cause baby love, my baby love

Been missing ya, miss kissing ya

Instead of breaking up

Let's do some kissing and making up

Don't throw our love away

In my arms why don't you stay?

Need ya, need ya, baby love, baby love

Baby love, my baby love

Why must we separate, my love?

All of my whole life through

I never loved no one but you

Why you do me like you do?

I get this need

Need to hold you, once again, my love

Feel your warm embrace, my love

Don't throw our love away

Please don't do me this way

Not happy like I used to be

Loneliness has got the best of me

My love, my baby love

I need you, oh how I need you!

Why you do me like you do?

After I've been true to you

So deep in love with you

Baby, baby, 'til it's hurtin' me

'Til it's hurtin' me, baby love

Don't throw our love away

Don't throw our love away
