[Verse]
I still recall when we first met
That very night I can't forget
And I could feel the way you move
I knew right then you'd fit my groove
I should have known, oh, by the past
That this here love just couldn't last
You said you'd never say bye-bye
You told a lie, you told a lie
You made me need you more each day
You took care of business and did not play
Now you want me to give you up
I just can't drink that bitter cup
I just can't get you off my mind
Without your love, I'm slowly dying
I need you so, can't let you go

[Bridge]
I should be smilin' by now, oh my love
With some new tender friend
Ah, smilin' by now, with my heart on the mend

[Outro]
And when I try, oh, when I try
There's something in my heart says "No, no"
You're still here and you're with me, baby
I wish, yeah, I wish I didn't love you so, ah baby
No, no, but I do, baby
I love you, love you so, ooh
Wish I didn't need your love
