Roy's version bears little similarity to the original



Otis version (original)



There were time and you want to be free

My love is growing stronger,

As you become a haven to me

Oh i've been loving you a little too long

I dont wanna stop now, oh with you my life,

Has been so wonderful i can't stop now

There were times and your love is growing cold

My love is growing stronger

As our affair [affair] grows old

I've been loving you a little too long, long,

I don't want to stop now oh, oh, oh

I've been loving you a little bit too long

I don't wanna stop now no, no, no



Don't make me stop now, no baby

I'm down on my knees please,

Don't make me stop now

I love you, i love you,

I love you with all of my heart

And i can't stop now don't make me stop now

Please, please don't make me stop now

[good god of mine]i love you

I love you, i love you, i love you

I love you, i love you

I love you in so many different ways...

I love you in so many different ways....







Roy version



I've been loving you a little too long

To stop right now

You're tired, and you wanna be free

My love is growing stronger

As you become a habit to me

Ooh, and loving you a little too long

I don't wanna stop right now

Oh with you my life has been so wonderful

I just can't stop now



You're tired and your love is growing cold

My love is growing stronger

As our affair grows old

And i've been loving you a little too long

I don't wanna stop now



Ooh, too long, long

Don't wanna stop my loving you right now

No, oh i've been loving you a little too long

To stop right now

Ooh, loving you a little too long

To stop right now



No, no, i can't stop now. no

Loving you a little too long

To stop right now, i can't stop...
