Holland–Dozier–Holland Quotes

Listen everybody especially you girls
Is it right to be left alone while the one you love is never home?
I love too hard my friends sometimes say
But I believe, I believe that a woman should be loved that way. But it hurts me so inside
To see her treat me so unkind
Somebody somewhere tell her it's unfair.

The love of a women is a wonderful thing (oh yeah),
Yeah, the way you treat 'em is a crying shame (oh yeah),
I tell you, fella, yeah, it won't be long (oh yeah),
Yeah, before these women they all have gone (oh yeah).

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.

Baby love, my baby love
I need you, oh how I need you!
But all you do is treat me bad
Break my heart and leave me sad
Tell me, what did I do wrong?
To make you stay away so long?

Now, if you feel that you can't go on
All your hope is gone
Life is filled with much confusion
Happiness is just an illusion
And your world is tumblin' down, Darling, reach out,
Reach out,
I'll be there to love and shelter you
I'll be there, I'll always see you through.

But when the love light starts shining through his eyes
Made me realize I should apologize
And when he placed a kiss upon my face
Then I knew, oh then I knew that he won my heart.

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.

Oh, but now he's back in my arms again
Right by my side
I got him back in my arms again,
So satisfied.

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)

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.

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.

Ooh, baby, baby
Where did our love go?
Ooh, don't you want me
Don't you want me no more? Ooh, baby.

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.

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.

Don't be fooled, by the shyness in his eyes
Don't you know, he's just a devil in disguise
So you better run, run, run, run, run, run
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
