Lyrics

Whoa, the last time that I saw ya
 Child, I know, no, you didn't say a word.
 And I knew, darlin' as I looked into your eyes
 That my feelings, oh, they'd never been heard.
 Well, I'm talkin' to you about love,
 Did you hear me, I said love,
 Because it's got to be such a long, long, way
 From denyin', from denyin'.
 And I say, 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.
 Won't you try and build a life with you,
 Guess I should've known it, I guess I should've known it all along.
 Oh, oh, oh, oh, let me hold you just once more
 Babe, I 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.
 Yeah, but don't you know when you love somebody that's so precious
 They can never, never, never be had very cheaply
 No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
 You're gonna have to pay your dues
 And sometimes, sometimes I guess you're bound to lose.
 Hey, but that's the way
 You're gonna learn, learn, learn to love deeply.
 Now oh God, I wish I could explain that myself,
 'Cause I know that it's my fault, too.
 It's so easy to hurt you, darling,
 It's so hard, it's hard not to do.
 And I know that you showed me a new life
 And you'll always, you'll always be my friend.
 Yeah, but I don't think, honey, that I can keep from tryin'
 And I'll be tryin' and I been cryin' for you, baby,
 Yes, I have now.
 Well, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
 What would I do without you, child?
 I'm afraid that I can't say.
 But I hope, honey, that when you will remember
 Lord, it'll be, it'll be such a sunny day.
 Now, now, now, now, good-bye,
 I'll see you sometime
 And don't be worried, everything's just fine.
 Babe, I don't think
 That I can keep from dyin'
 And I've been dyin'.
 I say now every day I die a little bit, babe
 I say now every day I lose me someone in my heart
 I've been lonely, lonely, look around baby
 I said now I can't help myself
 I can't help myself
 I gotta find him, gotta, I gotta need him
 'Cause I gotta find my man, find my baby
 'Cause I gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
 Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, yeah, gotta
 Gotta, gotta, gotta, oh my Lord I gotta
 Help me now now now now
 Help me, babe, yeah, yeah, yeah,
 Whoaa ... Lord, Lord Lord Lord!
 Whoaa ... Lord, Lord Lord Lord!
 Whoaa ... Lord, Lord Lord Lord!
