Holland–Dozier–Holland Quotes

But in my lonely room
Tears I don't have to hide
Cause I just lock my door
And let myself go and
Lay right down and cry.

Each night as I sleep
Into my heart you creep
I wake up feeling sorry I met you
Hoping soon that I'll forget you When I look in the mirror
And comb my hair
I see your face
Just a-smiling there.

Stop, in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop, in the name of love
Before you break my heart.
Think it over, think it over.

Oh Jimmy Mack
When are you coming back? My arms are missing you
My lips feel the same way too
I tried so hard to be true
Like I promised I'd do. But this boy
Keeps coming around
He's trying to wear
My resistance down.

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.

Put yourself in my place
If only for a day
See if you can stand
The awful hurt I feel inside And, oh, oh
Put yourself in my place
For just a little while
Live through the loneliness
The endless emptiness I go through.

Don't you break my heart
'Cause I sacrifice to make you happy
Get nothin' for myself
Now you wanna leave me
For the love of someone else
My pride is all gone, whether right or wrong
I believe, baby, you'd better keep on keepin' on.

Give me just a little more time
And our love will surely grow. Life's too short to make a mistake
Let's think of each other and hesitate
Young and impatient we may be
There's no need to act foolishly
If we part our hearts won't forget it
Years from now we'll surely regret it.

You're sweet as a honey bee
But like a honey bee stings
You've gone and left my heart in pain
All you left is our favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
It used to bring sweet memories
Of a tender love that used to be. Now it's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone.

Whenever I'm with him
Something inside
Starts to burning
And I'm filled with desire,
Could it be the devil in me?
Or is this the way love's supposed to be?

I need love love
To ease my mind
I need to find find
Someone to call mine But mama said
"You can't hurry love,
No you just have to wait"
She said "Love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take."

Here's our old favorite record
I can't stand to hear it anymore
Here's some old lingering love
It's in my heart and it's tearing it apart.

Baby, baby, baby
Baby don't leave me
Ooh, please don't leave me
All by myself. I've got this burning, burning, yearning
Feelin' inside me
Ooh, deep inside me
And it hurts so bad.

Darlin' I can't go on without you
(and I need you and I want you, baby)
This emptiness wont let me live without you
(And I need you and I want you, baby)
This loneliness inside me darlin'
(And I need you and I want you, baby)
Makes me feel half alive
(And I need you and I)

Gather round you swingers and friends
Help me forget my hurt within
About the only girl I ever loved
The only one I'm thinkin' of and
I've gotta dance to keep from crying.
