'Cause I Love You

Girl, you know I love you
No matter what you do
And I hope you understand me
Every word I say is true
'Cause I love you

Baby, I'm thinkin' of you
Tryin' to be more of a man for you
And I don't have much riches
But we gonna see it through
'Cause I love you

Oh oh oh

Some men need lots of women
For their passions to feel
But I want only you, girl
If it's in, if it's in, if it's in God's will
'Cause I, 'cause I love you

I, I love you, baby
With all my heart and soul
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

I Love you
I need you
I want you
I need you

Oh, oh, oh, oh your love makes me grow stronger
It keeps goin' on, oh, baby
I'm glad I found you
I just love to be around you, oh, baby
You've been so good to me
Oh, baby
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

You know
One time things got so bad until
I had to go to one of my friends and talk to him
And I told him, I said, You know
I'm having problems with the woman that I love
It seems that I call her on the phone and I just can't get her to answer
And then I went to her house and I saw a car parked in the driveway
I knocked on the door, but still my knocks went unanswered
And then I went home and I-I watched television until television went off
And then I played my records until I just didn't want to hear them anymore
And finally I went to bed, but I found myself waking up a few hours later
And the tears were running down my face
And my friend told me, he said, Lenny
You just oughta forget about her
But I told my friend, I said, You know
Maybe you've never been in love like I've been in love
And maybe you've never felt the things that I've felt
But this is what I told my friend
I said, You know, sometimes you get lonely
You get lonely, you get lonely
Oh, oh, oh, oh
And I cry, I cry
Oh, oh, oh, oh
And the tears would fill up in the wells
In the wells of my eyes, aww baby
And then it got so bad, it got so bad
Till one time I thought I'd roll myself up in a big ol' ball and die
And then I met you, darlin'
And you smiled at me
Oh, oh, it was such a pretty smile, yes, it was
And you reached out your hand
You helped me (helped), you helped me (helped me), you helped, oh
I'm glad, baby, I'm glad, baby
Oh, oh, oh, baby, ey, ey, ey
I won't ever leave you, baby
I won't ever grieve you, baby
I'm gonna love you, oh, oh, oh, baby
I'm glad, I'm glad, baby
Oh, oh, yeah, baby, oh, oh, oh
I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, oh
I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you
I love you
