I Can’t Give Back the Love I Feel for You
Here's a tear for a souvenir
And a dream torn at the seam
Here's a promise that you made to me
Of the tomorrow that 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 going to be stuck with it no matter what I do
Take these eyes that once could see
Now reflections of my misery
The happiness that I thought would last
Has now become a thing of the past
But I can't give back the love that's a part of me
If you want just a little bit you'll have to take all of me
'Cause it will grow till the world don't go round no more
Here's a ring that didn't mean a thing
And letters you wrote that gave my young heart hope
Take my pillow where the dreams were made
And the mind where the thoughts of you stayed
But baby you should know
That I can't give back the love I feel for you
I'm going to be stuck with it no matter what I do
Take these arms that held you close
As I was the one you needed the most
Take these hands that are good to me
Use to touch yourself tenderly
But I can't give back the love that's a part of me
If you want just a little bit you'll have to take all of me
No I can't give back the love I feel for you
I'm going to be stuck with it no matter what I do
No I can't give back the love I feel for you
I'm going to be stuck with it no matter what I do
No I can't give back the love I feel for you
I'm going to be stuck with it no matter what I do
