Oh, the last time that I saw you

You know you didn't say a word.

And I knew, honey as I looked into your eyes

My feelings, Lord, they'd never been heard.

Well, I'm talkin' to you about love,

Did you hear me ? I said love.

Hey, because it's got to be such a long, long, long way

From denyin', from denyin'.



And I say you don't say no, no, no, to me no more.

And I believed in you all the time,

Honey, until I found out you know that I was so wrong.

I wanted to try and build a life with you,

Lord I should've known it, I guess I should've known it all along.

Oh, let me hold you just once

Honey I'll ask you just once more

Because it's got to be such a long, long way from cryin'

And I been cryin'

And I got tears in my eyes

But don't you know when you love somebody, have some pressures

There can never, never, never be any secret,

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.



You gonna have to pay your dues

And sometimes, honey, sometimes you know you're bound to lose.

Yeah, but that's the way

You're gonna learn, learn, learn to love people, yeah.



Oh God, I wish I could explain it myself,

'Cause I know that it's my fault, dear.

It's so easy to hurt you, darling,

It's so hard, I guess it's hard not to do.

And I know that you showed me a new life

And you'll always, and you'll always be my friend.

Baby I don't think that I can keep from cryin'

And I'll be tryin' and I been cryin' for you, babe

Yes I have now.



Well, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

What would I do without you child ?

I'm afraid I can't say

But I hope honey that when you remember,

Lord, it'll be, it'll be such a sunn
