Ray Charles
Love’s Gonna Bite You Back
[Intro]
Well
Whoa, well
Whoa, well, well
Wait a minute

[Chorus]
Take a look at me and you will see
I'm at the point of no return, I am
Grab a chair and you can hear
A lesson that I've learned
I thought I tamed love and I had it by the tail
But I didn't know how to act, no
If you don't love love like you know you should
You know love's gon' bite you back

[Post-Chorus]
Oh love, don't stay away too long, no
I feel I did somebody out there wrong, yeah
Please believe me 'cause now I know
What I did before, I won't do it no more, no, no

[Verse 1]
I should have been there when you were lonely
Girl, I know I should have been there when you were cold, mhm
I should have been your one and only
Yes, and I should have loved you heart and soul, baby
[Chorus]
Take a look at me and you will see
I'm at the point of no return, girl
Grab a chair and you can hear
A lesson that I've learned
I thought I tamed love and I had it by the tail
But I didn't know how to act, no
If you don't love love like you know you should
You know the love's gon' bite you back

[Post-Chorus]
Oh love, don't stay away too long, no
I feel I did somebody out there wrong, I did
Please believe me 'cause now I know
What I did before, I won't do it no more, mmm-mmm
Well, oh, well, look here

[Verse 2]
I should have been there when you were crying
I should have been there when you were blue, baby
I should have been there for all the good times
And I know I should have been there for the bad ones, too
Ain't it true, huh?

[Chorus]
Take a look at me and you will see
I'm at the point of no return, well
Grab a chair and you can hear
A lesson that I've learned
I thought I tamed love and I had it by the tail
But I didn't know how to act, no
If you don't love love like you know you should
You know the love's gon' bite you back
[Post-Chorus]
And oh love, don't stay away too long, can you hear me
I feel I did somebody out there wrong, feel like it
Please believe me 'cause now I know
What I did before, I won't do it no more, no, no

[Outro]
Well, love, don't stay away too long, mmm
I feel I did somebody wrong, I did
Please believe me 'cause now I know
What I did before, I won't do it no more, no, no, no
Oh love, don't stay away too long, oh
I feel I did somebody out there wrong, wrong
Please believe me 'cause now I know
What I did before, I won't do it no more, oh, oh no, no, no, no
Well, oh well
