Search History[]
The song was first posted to WatZatSong on May 18th, 2022, by user digitizedbyfulop94. They said it was recorded onto a cassette tape, they said the snippet they provided was all they had and they didn’t know anything else about it.
A day later, a now deleted user asked the OP if they had a longer snippet, they responded, and said:
"I have bought many old cassettes which they recorded various music on back in the time. This song was the very last one on B-side and unfortunately then the tape ended. :("[1]
The OP linked a YouTube upload of the song that played before this on the tape, but the video has since been deleted. They also compared it to Perfect Love (Extended Mix) by Linda Jo Rizzo due to the similar intro, but it was a different song.[2] On August 11th, 2022, the OP responded to another now-deleted user, who asked them where and when the song was recorded. They responded, saying:
"Don't know. :( I just bought a lot of used tapes from a Hungarian marketplace and this is digitized from one randomly selected one. I don't know which radio, but I think from the quality they had recorded the songs from Vinyl. Year also was not signed on the label. By the way, no info at all was written on the label. Maybe early '80s?"[3]
On September 17th, 2022, the OP reposted the song to Spiritofradio.ca. They provided the same info already given on the WZS post. The snippet was nine seconds shorter and didn't include the instrumental at the end.
On February 4th, 2023, the song was identified by user Somebody Different as Baby Love (Dub Mix) by Tatjana Šimić[4], presumably after he recognized it.
Lyrics[]
Hello?
Hey babe, I can't make it tonight. I'll be in touch
Baby love, my baby love
I need you, oh how I need you (Baby love, ooh, baby love)
But all you do is treat me bad
Break my heart and leave me sad
Tell me, what did I do wrong
To make you stay away so long
'Cause baby love, my baby love
Been missing ya, miss kissing ya (Baby love, ooh, baby love)
Instead of breaking up (Don't throw our love away)
Let's do some kissing and making up (Don't throw our love away)
Don't throw our love away
In my arms, why don't you stay? (Baby, baby, baby, ooh)
Baby love, my baby love
Why must we separate, my love? (Baby love, ooh, baby 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 (Baby, baby, baby)
(Ooh, baby 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 (Baby, baby, baby)
Need to hold you once again, my love (Baby love, baby love)
Feel your warm embrace, my love (Baby love, ooh, baby love)
Don't throw our love away (Don't throw our love away)
Please don't do me this way (Don't throw our love away)
Not happy like I used to be
Loneliness has got the best of me (Baby, baby, baby, ooh)
My love, my baby love (Baby love, baby love)
I need you, oh how I need you (Baby love, ooh, baby love)
Why you do me like you do? (Don't throw our love away)
After I've been true to you (Don't throw our love away)
So deep in love with you Baby, baby, ooh (Baby, baby, baby, ooh)
'Til it's hurtin' me, 'til it's hurtin' me (Baby love, baby love)
Ooh, baby love (Baby love, ooh, baby love)
Don't throw our love away (Don't throw our love away)
Don't throw our love away (Don't throw our love away)
Don't throw our love away (Don't throw our love away)
Don't throw our love away (Don't throw our love away)
Don't throw our love away (Don't throw our love away)
Don't throw our love away (Don't throw our love away)
