Dusty Springfield
I Can’t Give Back The Love
Here's a tear for a souvenir
And a dream torn at the seams
Here's a promise that you made to me of love
It's more than I'll ever see and then you're free to go
But I can't give back the love I feel for you
Gonna be stuck with it no matter what I do
Take these eyes that once could see
Now reflections of my misery
And happiness I thought would last
Is now becoming just 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
Simply adore till the world
Don't go 'round no more
Here's the ring that didn't mean a thing
And 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
Gonna be stuck with it no matter what I do
Take these arms that held you close
And follow up the one you need the most
Take these hands 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'll have to take all of me
No, I can't give back the love that I feel for you, baby
Gonna be stuck with it no matter, no matter what I do
No, I can't give back the love that's a part of me
Gonna be stuck with it, oh yeah, no matter what I do
