[Verse 1: David Ruffin, Ivy Jo Hunter]
Oh, when I try to sleep at night
I close my eyes, I close 'em tight
But still I'm thinking of your face I see
When that sleep won't come, I walk the floor
I hear a knock upon my door
It's only my imagination fooling me
That's when I

[Chorus: David Ruffin, with Ivy Jo Hunter]
I can feel the pain
The pain of loneliness since you've been gone
I can feel, I can feel the pain, baby
The pain of loneliness since you've been gone

[Bridge: Ivy Jo Hunter]
Like a chain around my heart
It merely dragged me down
In a sea of loneliness
Where every day I drowned
Down in my heart, dear

[Verse 2: Ivy Jo Hunter]
Oh Lord, I can't go on
The hurt is even in my bones
My woman's gone, but still her face haunting me
I can't run, I can't hide
From the heartache that I feel inside
Ever-feeding on my soul, devouring me
[Bridge: Ivy Jo Hunter, David Ruffin, Both]
I can feel it (I can feel it)
I can feel it (Hoo)
I can feel it, baby
Feel it (Feel it)
I can (Feel it, baby)
The pain of loneliness since you've been gone
Have mercy, baby (Oh baby, ooh-hoo)
I'm sorry, baby (Pain of loneliness, honey)
Oh
Woo-hoo-ooh-woo-hoo-ooh (Hoo)

[Outro: Ivy Jo Hunter, David Ruffin]
Put your finger on my heartbeat, you feel the pain
When the heartache starts I know you feel the pain
I can feel it (Oh, I can feel it, baby)
I can feel it, baby (Oh, ho)
Feel the pain of loneliness since you've been gone
The pain of foolishness that made me say goodbye
The pain of heartache lingers on
I must've lost my mind to ever make you cry
(Oh, the pain) I, I can feel it
(That stays in my heart) Feel the pain
(The pain of love) Feel it, I can feel it
I can feel the pain
