How Can I

(album: The Original Spinners - 1967)

But when I kissed her my heart just wasn't in it

How can I go on living without you
All I do is dream and think about you all the time
And all the time I spend just hating myself
Feeling you might fall in love with someone else

How can I? (How can I?)
How can I? (How can I?)
How can I?

I held another and I know that you've seen it
I cross my heart and hope to die, I didn't mean it
My love for you (straight away for just a minute)

But when I kissed her my heart just wasn't in it
I deserve it so go on and make me suffer
Ah, but the suffering get's tougher and tougher all the time
All I do is pray that you return some day
My darling, and say, say that you are mine

How can I? (How can I?)

I held another and I know that you've seen it

My love for you (straight away just for just a minute)

Ah, but the suffering get's tougher and tougher all the time
All I do is pray that you return some day
My darling, and say, say that you are mine

How can I? (How can I?)
How can I? (How can I?)
How can I? (How can I?)

(How can I?) (Do-do-do-lo-do)
