Girl, you know I love you
No matter what you're doin'
And I hope you understand me
Every word I say is true
â€~Cause I love you
Baby, I'm thinkin' of you
Tryin' to be more of a man for you
And I don't have much riches
But we gonna see it through
â€~Cause I love you
Some men need lots of women
For their passions to feel
But I want only you, girl
If it's in, if it's in, if it's in God's will
â€~Cause I, â€~cause I love you
I, I love you, baby
With all my heart and soul
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I love you
I need you
I want you
I need you
Your love makes me grow stronger
It keeps goin' on, oh, baby
I'm glad I found you
I just love to be around you, oh, baby
You've been so good to me oh, baby
You know one time things got so bad until
I had to go to one of my friends and talk to him
And I told him, I said
‽You know I'm having problems with the woman that I love
It seems that I call her on the phone and I just can't get her to answerâ€Â
‽And then I went to her house and I saw a car parked in the driveway
I knocked on the door, but still my knocks went unanswered
And then I went home and , I watched television until television went off
And then I played my records until
I just didn't want to hear them anymore
And finally I went to bed, but I found myself waking up a few hours later
And the tears were running down my faceâ€Â
And my friend told me, he said
‽Lenny you just oughta forget about herâ€Â
But I told my friend, I said
‽You know maybe you've never been in love like I've been in love
And maybe you've never felt the things that I've feltâ€Â
But this is what I told my friend
I said, ‽You know, sometimes you get lonely
You get lonely, you get lonelyâ€Â
And I cry, I cry and the tears would fill up in the wells
In the wells of my eyes, baby
And then it got so bad, it got so bad
Till one time I thought I'd roll myself up in a big ol' ball and die
And then I met you, darlin' and you smiled at me
Oh, oh, it was such a pretty smile, yes, it was
And you reached out your hand
You helped me, you helped me, you helped, oh
I'm glad, baby, I'm glad, baby oh, baby
I won't ever leave you, baby
I won't ever grieve you, baby
I'm gonna love you, oh, oh, oh, baby
I'm glad, I'm glad, baby
Oh, oh, yeah, baby
I love you
I love you
I love you
