I Can’t Give Back the Love I Feel for You
Here's a tear, for a souvenir
And a dream, that's torn at the seams
Here's a promise you made to me
Of the tomorrow I'll never see
And then you're free to go
But I can't give back the love
I feel for you
I'm gonna be stuck with it
No matter what I do
Take these arms that held you close
And thought I was the one you needed the most
Take these hands, they're no good to me
That used to touch you so tenderly
But I can't give back the love
That's a part of me
If you want just a little bit
You have to take all of me
Here's a ring
That didn't mean a thing
And the letters you wrote
That gave my young heart hope
Take the pillow where my dreams were made
And the mind, where the thought of you stayed
But baby, you should know
That I can't give back the love
I feel for you
I'm gonna be stuck with it
No matter what I do
Take these eyes that once could see
Now reflections of a misery
The happiness I thought would last
Now becoming just a thing of the past
'Cause I can't give back the love
That's a part of me
If you want just a little bit
You have to take all of me
No, I can't give back
Oh, I feel for you
Ooh, I'm gonna be stuck
No matter what I do
'Cause it will grow 'til the world
Don't go 'round no more
I can't give back the love
I feel for you
Oh, I'm gonna be stuck with it
No matter what I do
But I can't give back the love (Can't give back the love)
I feel for you, oh
And I'm gonna be stuck with it
No matter what I do
No, I can't give back the love
I feel for you, oh
I'm gonna be stuck with it, ooh
No matter what I do
Oh, can't give back the love, ooh
I feel for you
I'm gonna be stuck with it, ow
No matter what I do, ooh
I can't give back the love
