'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 of riches

But we gonna see it through

'Cause I love you

Oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Some men needs lots of women

For their passions to fill

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

Hmm, hmm

You know, one time thing's got so bad until I

I had to go to one of my friends and talk to him, man

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

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 wanna 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 ought to 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, oh, oh, oh, oh

And I cried, I cried, oh

And the tears would fill up in the wells

In the wells of my eyes, oh, baby

And then it got so bad, it got so bad

Till one time I felt like I'd roll myself up in a big old ball and die

And then I met you, darling

And you smiled at me

Oh, oh, it was such a pretty smile, yes, it was

And reached out your hand, you helped me

You helped me, you helped, oh

I'm glad, baby, I'm glad, baby

Oh, oh, oh, baby, yeah

I wanna believe you, baby

I won't ever grieve you, baby

I'm gon' 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
