Text: Brian McKnight. Always Be My Baby.

:
[Verse 1:]
How do you know when's the right time to throw in the towel
What do you say when it's all said and done
Where do you go to sort out your feelings
When nothing is like it was
There's no easy way to break somebody's heart
I couldn't keep this thing from falling a part

[Chorus:]
But it doesn't mean that I don't love you
Ohhh nooo
And it doesn't mean that I won't miss you
Even though we're a part save a place in your heart for me
You'll always be my baby
Yeahhh... Mmmmm

[Verse 2:]
How do I look into your eyes and tell you it's over
What do I do if you break down and start to cry
Do I sell out and say the old cliche
It's not you that's me girl
What do I tell you if you ask me why
'Cause there's no easy way to break somebody's heart
I need to tell you but, I don't have the heart

[Chorus:]
But it doesn't mean that I don't love you
{Doesn't mean that I don't love you}
And it doesn't mean that I won't miss you
{I won't miss you baby}
Even though we're a part save a place in your heart for me
You'll always be my baby

[Bridge:]
I know it's hard right now but one day you'll see that you'll find someone who'll love you like you need to be
And it's okay if you forget about me
Wherever you are in this world you'll always be my girl

But it doesn't mean that I don't love you
And it doesn't mean I don't miss you baby {baby, baby}
Even though we're a part save a place in your heart for me
