I Ain't Got The Love Of The One I Love

Supremes · This Is The Story: The '70s Albums, Vol.1 - 1970-1973 [2006]

Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm

I sit and cry, I'll tell you why

I lost my love



I swear I just can't believe how he could walk out on me

My mind's in a daze to think that he walked away

I'll never understand with all the love I gave that man

How he could close the door on me and say goodbye

and not a single tear fell form his eye?



I gave all I had and that was driving me mad

I lay in my bed and count the tears that I shed

I'll go through every day just like a child who lost his way

My life has lost its meaning since he said goodbye

And I just might as well lay down and die



[Chorus:]

I ain't got the love of the one I love (baby)

I ain't got the love of the one I love (baby)

I ain't got the love of the one...I love...



The look in his eye were hiding all of his lies

Why just yesterday I thought I'm sure he would say

He only wanted me, instead he wanted to be free

And I know that he's already seeing someone else

And I'm just not there talking to myself



[Chorus]



I can't go on another day (I can't go on another day)

You might as well take my life away

I sit and cry, I'll tell you why

I lost my love



And now I cannot disguise all the tears in my eyes

I just can't conceal how brokenhearted I feel

There ain't no melody that can do anything for me

'Cause how can I be happy with the one I love

but never had to feel the love for me?



[Repeat Chorus & fade]
