Holland–Dozier–Holland Quotes

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

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.

I needed the shelter of someone's arms
And there you were
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs
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 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.

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.

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?

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)

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
