Lyrics
Warm night, can't sleep
Too hurt, too weak, gotta call her up
Dial that number
No one answers till it's two o'clock
And if by chance, you let me come over
Out on the street, I wanna see you, baby
And if by chance, you let me just hold ya
I'm down on my knees, I wanna please you, baby, and I'll
I'll be your righteous lover
She said, "Sugar, honey
Darlin', I really wanna see ya too"
It's just that someone's over
And baby, I really wanna be with you
But if by chance, you let me just hold ya
I'm callin', I'm free, I wanna see you, baby
When in need, you said you would be here
And you hold the key to my very being baby, and I
I love you, baby
If you are that special lover
And love keeps you tied to another
That's the way it goes on love's train
Sometimes heart strings can be broken
But you just have to keep on goin'
That's the way it goes on love's train
On a warm night, lady
Wants her baby, so she calls him up
Dial that number
No one answers till it's two o'clock
If by chance, you just come over
'Cause darlin', please, I've got to see you, baby
And when in need, you said you would be here
And now I'm in need and please believe me, baby
I love you, Honey (Listen, babe)
If you are that special lover
And love keeps you tied to another
That's the way it goes on love's train
You don't need no, you don't need no ticket to ride
Sometimes heart strings can be broken
But you just have to keep on goin'
That's the way it goes on love's train (Listen, babe, listen, baby, baby)
In deep sorrow, you've been soakin'
But you just have to keep on strokin' (Strokin', babe)
That's the way it goes on love's train (Love's a hurtin' thang, y'all, that makes you wanna cry, come on)
If you've found that special lover
And love keeps you tied to another
That's the way it goes on love's train (Find yourself alone)
Sometimes heart strings can be broken
But you just have to keep on strokin' (Strokin', babe)
That's the way it goes on love's train (In time everythang gonna be alright)
In deep sorrow, you've been soakin'
But you just have to keep on strokin' (Strokin', babe)
That's the way it goes on love's train
