Otis (& then Melvin - spoken) |
|
By and by, you knew that you make me cry. (By and by, knew you'd make me cry) |
|
And my love for you will never die. (My love will never, never die) |
|
But I had to find out on my own. |
|
(Check yourself, check yourself) |
|
Paul: |
|
Aww, that's what they told me. (Check yourself, check yourself) |
|
I paid no mind. (Check yourself, check yourself) |
|
I kept on breaking hearts, (Check yourself, check yourself) |
|
All down the line. (Check yourself, check yourself) |
|
Sometimes you just got to lose. |
|
That's when you pay your dues. |
|
I guess I was a fool, I guess I was a fool, |
|
To think that... you'd stayed so true. |
|
Aww, I really played in the game. (Check yourself, check yourself) |
|
I'd always win. (Check yourself, check yourself) |
|
Now the tables turn. (Check yourself, check yourself) |
|
And I'm on the losing end. (Check yourself, check yourself) |
|
Oh don't, feel sorry. |
|
I had it coming, it's true. |
|
'Cause I'm losing, yes, I'm losing, I'm losing you. |
|
Before I go, I'd like for you to know. |
|
You've had my heart from the very start. |
|
But there's one more thing, before we part. |
|
And that's I'm sorry, sorry, sorry to my heart. |
|
Aww, I'm on my sad way. (Check yourself, check yourself) |
|
Because I know I'd lost your love. (Check yourself, check yourself) |
|
I'll kick it, like a pass. (Check yourself, check yourself) |
|
But I'll be thinking of.... |
|
The good times. (The good times) |
|
The bad times. (The bad times) |
|
But good or bad, happy or sad, |
|
Of memories. (Memories) |
|
Sweet, sweet memories. (Memories) |
|
Aww, memories... are all I have. |
|
Aww, that's what they told me. (Check yourself, check yourself) |
|
That's what they told me. (Check yourself, check yourself) |
|
That's what they... what they told me. (Check yourself, check yourself) |
|
Hmmm... |
