Your Loving Is Much Too Strong

(album: Groove-A-Thon - 1976)

Wake up baby, the sun is in our face
We overslept, and daybreak has caught us
And now we gotta get outta this place
I'll check and see if the halls are clear
And neither one of us can afford
To let it be known that we were here

I know that it's wrong, but I keep hanging on
I can't leave you alone
'Cause your loving is much too strong

Well you have your obligations, and I have mine too
I wouldn't jeopardize your situation
Or make any great demands of you
But I have to be with you once a week
That's all I live for
And each time we're together
It seems so much better than the time before

I know, yeah (I know that it's wrong)
I can't help it, baby (But I keep hanging on)
Hanging on, I can't, I can't, no no (I can't leave him alone)
'Cause your loving is much too strong

Hold me baby, and kiss me one more time
Oh how I wish that I were yours
And you were only mine, yeah yeah
Let me check you over, got to be sure everything is in place
We got our stories together
'Cause we know what we got to face
And if our friends found out about us
They would call it a disgrace
But if our home life was together
We wouldn't have a need to sneak this way

Now I know, I know (I know that it's wrong)
I know it's wrong (But I keep hanging on)
I keep, I keep hanging on
I can't be alone, 'cause your love is much too strong, yeah yeah

I know, I know (I know that it's wrong)
I don't want to be right, yeah (But I keep on hanging on)
Hanging on to you with all my might
I can't, help me (I can't leave you alone)
Help me somebody ('Cause your loving is much too strong)
Your love, your love
I know, I know, yeah (I know that it's wrong)
I keep on hanging to you, baby (But I keep on hanging on)
I can't, I'm too weak for it (I can't leave you alone)
I can't leave, you shouldn't have loved me so good, baby
('Cause your loving is much too strong)
Yes it is, yes it is, yes it is
I said I can't, I know, I know (I know that it's wrong)
I know it's wrong, you don't have to tell me
(But I keep on hanging on)
You're the best thing I ever had, I can't lose you
(I can't leave you alone)
Ooh, help me y'all, help me
('Cause your loving is much too strong)
Oh love me, I said I know, I know, I know, I know
(I know that it's wrong)

I can't help me now (But I keep on hanging on)
I never let you go, you're the best thing I ever had
(I can't leave you alone)
I can't leave you alone ('Cause your loving is much too strong)
'Cause your loving is a-much
