Donny Hathaway
I Love You More Than You’ll Ever Know (Live at The Bitter End, New York City, 1971)
[Verse 1]
If I ever leave you, baby, you can say I told you so
And if I ever hurt you, you know I hurt myself as well
[Chorus]
Is that anyway for a man to carry on?
Do you think I want my loved one gone?
Said I love you
More than you'll ever know
More than you'll ever know
[Verse 2]
When I wasn't making much money
You know where my paycheck went
You know I brought it all home to you, baby
And I never spent a red cent, yeah
[Chorus]
Is that any way for a man to carry on?
Do you think I want my loved one gone?
Said I love you
More than you'll ever know
More than you'll ever know
[Bridge]
I'm not trying to be
Just any kind of man, no, no, I ain't
I'm just trying to bе somebody
You can love, trust and understand, yеs, I am
I know I know I know that I can be, I can be
A part of you that no one else could see, yeah
But I got to hear you say
I got hear you say it's alright
[Verse 3]
I'm only flesh and blood
But I could be anything that you demand
I could be king of everything
Or just a tiny grain of sand
Tell me now
[Chorus]
Is that anyway for a man to carry on?
Do you think that I want my loved one gone?
Said I love you, baby
More than you'll ever know
[Outro]
I said I love you
I love you, I love you, baby, yes, I do
I don't want nobody else
I don't need nobody else
I just want you, baby, yes, I do
This is the reason why
'Cause I love you, hey, yes, I do
Hey, hey
Thank you very much
