David Ruffin - Invidious

Last week my life had meaning
It was beautiful and so sweet.
But now it's nothing,
nothing without you, baby
My whole world is incomplete
'Cause I can't see you no more.
That was all that you said, baby.
But you just might as well have
Placed a gun to my head.
Baby, baby, why did you do it?
My whole world ended
the moment you left me
Oh baby
