( g. davis, jr )



You said he was just an old acquaintance that you knew a long time ago

I could tell when he held you in his arms, you seemed spellbound by his charms

No need to try, you can't deny, that look in your eyes spelled love, love, love, love

L o v e, l o v e, l o v e was all i saw, it was love, love, love, love

And i used to call you on the telephone

And i thought, i thought it very funny why you were never home

And i used to believe that i could trust you

But i find that you untrue



Lately, lately i find that i'm all by myself

Thinking you love me, when it's someone else

Hats off, hats off to you and your new lover

Cuz for me, cuz for me there will be no other

Girl, to take your place, with tears on my face

Farewell to you, may god bless and keep you



Please dear lord keep her safe for me

Farewell, farewell my darlin', my darlin', my darlin

Whoa i need you, i need you, i need you
