Holland–Dozier–Holland Quotes

I needed the shelter of someone's arms
And there you were

And there you were. With sweet love and devotion
Deeply touching my emotions
I want to stop and thank you baby
I want to stop and thank you baby.

You're like quicksand
Sinking me deeper in love with you
The more I fight it, the deeper in love I get
Each time you hold me
I feel nothing but happiness
It's not safe loving you this way
But from your arms, I can't stay.

You are so wonderful
That being near you is all I'm living for
You show me more kindness in little ways
Than I've ever known in all my days
Tell me we'll stay together
Let me love you forever
'Cause you're a wonderful one
You're a wonderful one.

Baby, baby, baby

You know that I love you
I can't help myself
I love you and nobody else. In and out my life
You come and you go
Leaving just your picture behind
And I kissed it a thousand times.

Smiles have all turned to tears
But tears won't wash away the fears
That you're never ever gonna return
To ease the fire that within me burns.

'Cause now he's hangin' around my door
More happier than before
Now you're in misery 'cause you lost him to me
Now the hurt's on you, now the hurt's on you
Your little scheme backfired, it's true
You made bets, any boy you could get.

Ooh, this old heart of mine, been broken thousand times
Each time you break away, I fear you're gone to stay
Lonely nights that come, memories that go
Bringing you back again, hurting me more and more.
