Holland–Dozier–Holland Quotes

I saw the saddest thing, other day.
When an old man pass my way.
Walking the streets so all alone.
All because he had no home.
But the saddest thing I've ever seen,
Is a tear from a woman's eye.

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.

I've been crying, 'cause I'm lonely for you
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.

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).

Set me free, why don't cha, baby
Get out my life, why don't cha, baby
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on.
You don't really need me
But you keep me hangin' on
You don't really need me
But you keep me hangin' on.

From this old world I try to hide my face
But from this loneliness there's no hiding place
Inside this cold and empty house, I dwell
In darkness with memories I know so well.

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.

Through the mirror of my mind
Time after time
I see reflections of you and me. Reflections of
The way life used to be.
Reflections of
The love you took from me.

Now that you're gone
All that's left is a band of gold
All that's left of the dreams I hold
Is a band of gold
And the memories of what love could be
If you were still here with me.

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)

Bernadette,
People are searching for the kind of love that we possess.
Some go on searching their whole life through
And never find the love I've found in you.

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.

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?

Baby, I need your loving
Got to have all your loving.
