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.

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

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

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.

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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sugar pie, honey bunch
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.
