’Cause I Love You

Girl

You know I love you

No matter what you do

And I hope you understand me

Every word I say is true

†cause I love you

Baby

I'm thinkin' of you

Tryin' to be more of a man for you

And I don't have much riches

But we gonna see it through

†cause I love you

Some men need lots of women

For their passions to feel

But I want only you

Girl

If it's in

If it's in

If it's in god's will

†cause I

†cause I love you

I

I love you

Baby

With all my heart and soul

I love you

I need you

I want you

I need you

Oh

Your love makes me grow stronger

It keeps goin' on

Oh

Baby

I'm glad I found you

I just love to be around you

Oh baby

You've been so good to me

Oh

Baby

You know

One time things got so bad until

I had to go to one of my friends and talk to him

And I told him

I said

‽you know

I'm having problems with the woman that I love

It seems that I call her on the phone

And I

I just can't get her to answer

And then I went to her house

And I saw a car parked in the driveway

I knocked on the door

But still my knocks went unanswered

And then I went and I

I watched television until television went off

And then I played my records until

I just didn't want to hear them anymore

And finally I went to bed

But I found myself

Waking up a few hours later

And the tears were running down my face”

And my friend told me

He said

‽lenny

You just ought to forget about her”

But I told my friend

I said

‽you know

Maybe you've never been in love like I've been in love

And maybe you've never felt the things that I've felt”

But this is what I told my friend

I said

‽you know

Sometimes you get lonely

You get lonely

You get lonely”

And I cry

I cry

And the tears would fill up in the wells

In the wells of my eyes

Oh baby

And then it got so bad

It got so bad

Till one time I thought I'd roll myself up

In a big ol' ball and die and then I met you

Darlin'

And you smiled at me

Oh

Oh

It was such a pretty smile

Yes

It was

And you reached out your hand

You helped me

You helped me

You helped

Oh

I'm glad

Baby

I'm glad

Baby

Oh

Oh

Oh

Baby

I won't ever leave you

Baby

I won't ever grieve you

Baby

I'm gonna love you

Oh

Oh

Oh

Baby

I'm glad

I'm glad

Baby

Oh

Oh

Yeah

Baby

Oh

Oh

Oh

I love you

I love you

I love you
