I Can't Give Back The Love I Feel For You
Here's a tear, for a souvenir
And a dream, that's torn at the seams
Here's a promise you made to me
Of the tomorrow I will never see
And then you're free to go
But I can't give back the love
I feel for you
I'm gonna be stuck with it
No matter what I do
Take these eyes that once could see
Now reflection of my misery
Hapiness I thought would last
Now becoming just a thing of the past
But I can't give back the love
That's a part of me
If you want just a little bit
You have to take all of me
'Cause it will grow 'til the world don't go round anymore
Here's a ring
That didn't mean a thing
And letters you wrote
That gave my young heart hope
Take the pillow where the dreams were made
And the mind, where the thought of you stayed
But baby, you should know
That I can't give back the love
I feel for you
I'm gonna be stuck with it
No matter what I do
Take these arms that held you close
I thought I was the one you needed most
Take these hands, they're no good to me
Used to touch you so tenderly
But I can't give back the love
That's a part of me
If you want just a little bit
You'll have to take all of me
No, I can't give back the love
I feel for you
I'm gonna be stuck with it
No matter what I do
No, I can't give back the love
That I feel for you
I'm gonna be stuck with it
No matter what I do
No, I can't, no, give back the love
If you want just a little bit
You'll have to take all of me
And a dream, that's torn at the seams
Here's a promise you made to me
Of the tomorrow I will never see
And then you're free to go
But I can't give back the love
I feel for you
I'm gonna be stuck with it
No matter what I do
Take these eyes that once could see
Now reflection of my misery
Hapiness I thought would last
Now becoming just a thing of the past
But I can't give back the love
That's a part of me
If you want just a little bit
You have to take all of me
'Cause it will grow 'til the world don't go round anymore
Here's a ring
That didn't mean a thing
And letters you wrote
That gave my young heart hope
Take the pillow where the dreams were made
And the mind, where the thought of you stayed
But baby, you should know
That I can't give back the love
I feel for you
I'm gonna be stuck with it
No matter what I do
Take these arms that held you close
I thought I was the one you needed most
Take these hands, they're no good to me
Used to touch you so tenderly
But I can't give back the love
That's a part of me
If you want just a little bit
You'll have to take all of me
No, I can't give back the love
I feel for you
I'm gonna be stuck with it
No matter what I do
No, I can't give back the love
That I feel for you
I'm gonna be stuck with it
No matter what I do
No, I can't, no, give back the love
If you want just a little bit
You'll have to take all of me
