What About My Love
Johnnie Taylor · Just Ain't Good Enough [1982]
I do believe that something went wrong, somewhere.
What about my feelings ? Or they mean anything at all ?
You got me so in love, I'm too blind to see.
Now that you've got my love, now you wanna put me down.
Now that you've got my love, you won't even come around.
What about it, baby? What about the days and nights we spent ?
What about the love, we made so sweet ?
Are you sure you wanna go ? Think about it, baby, because I know.
I know that you wanna, you wanna change your mind.
Now that you've got my love, now you wanna put me down.
Now that you've got my love, you won't even come around.
(Solo)
What kind of way is that to treat a man,
Who gave all that he never never never had ?
Going in and out of the changes, of life with you.
Are you sure you wanna go ? I gave it all baby you know I know
And maybe you just wanna, might wanna change your mind.
Now that you've got my love, now you wanna put me down, oh oh
Now that you've got my love, you won't even come around, oh no.
Now that you've got my love, you've got me hanging on the line.
Now that you've got my love, baby, you wanna, wanna change your mind.
Honey, baby, will you change your mind ? Ha ha.
I've been wondering there, oh oh honey.
Wondering if you change your mind, I've been wondering
I've been hoping babe, you know I have
Hoping you will change your mind ? Ha ha.
I've been praying, babe, yeah I have, praying that you change your mind.
I've been wishing, babe, yes I have,
I been wishing that you change your mind.
another thing thing about it, I've been praying babe
Praying that you'll change your mind, change your mind.
I've been wondering babe, wondering if you change your mind.

'Cause I need you and you need me.
I know you'll be happy girl, just wait and see.
Baby, yeah yeah, I really want to change your mind.
See Honey I've been hoping baby, yeah, hoping that you change your mind.
