Lyrics

I've been loving you too long to stop now

You are tired and you want to be free

My love is growing stronger, as you become a habit to me

Ohh, I've been loving you a tiny bit too long

I don't wanna stop now

With you my life has been so wonderful

I can't stop now

You are tired and your love is growing cold

My love is growing stronger as our affair grows old

I've been loving you about much too long

I don't want to stop now, ohh, ohh, ohh

I've been loving you much too long

I don't wanna stop now, ohh, ohh, ohh

And don't make me stop now

I'm down on my knees

Please, don't make me stop now

I love you, I love you, I love you with all my heart

And I can't stop now

Please, please, please don't make me stop now

Talkin' 'bout heart and soul

That I love you

I love you
