Lyrics

I gave you all the love I got, I gave you more than I could give, I gave you love.

I gave you all that I have in side and you took my love, you took my love.

Did n’t I (Bm)tell you what I be (Bsus)lieve?

Did some bod y (Gmaj7)say that

a (Em7)love like that won’t last?

Did n’t I give you all that I’ve (F#m7)got to

give, ba by?

I gave you all the love I got, I gave you more than I could give, I gave you love.

I gave you all that I have in side and you took my love, you took my love.

Did n’t I (Bm)tell you what I be (Bsus)lieve?

Did some bod y (Gmaj7)say that

a (Em7)love like that won’t last?

Did n’t I give you all that I’ve (F#m7)got to

give, ba by?

I gave you all

I keep cry ing,

I keep try ing for you.

There’s noth ing like

(F#m7)you and I, ba by.

This is no (Bm)or di nar y love,

This is no or di nar y love,

(Bm)When you came by my way

you (Gmaj7)bright ened ev ’ry day

with your sweet smile.

Did n’t I (Bm)tell you what I be (Bsus)lieve?

Did some bod y (Gmaj7)say that

a (Em7)love like that won’t last?

Did n’t I give you

all that I’ve (F#m7)got to

give, ba by?

This is no (Bm)or di nar y love,

no or di nar y love.

This is no or di nar y love,

no or di nar y love.

(Bm)or di nar y love,

no or di nar y love.

This is no or di nar y love,

no or di nar y love.

I keep cry
