Where She Left Off

(album: Living Proof - 1974)

You know I miss you now that you're really gone
Life is sad living alone
I wish I had someone to share the darkness
Don't do no good to play them ol' songs
Just makes me drink and cry all night long
How long will my hurting go on
I need somebody new

Oh she used to know my feelin's just by touching me
And love was so bright in her eyes the whole world could see
I remember when her words and her lips were warm and soft
I need someone to take up where she left off

She quit smiling in my direction
She didn't want no night time affection
Seems we just lost love's connection I wish I knew why
You know it hurts a man a whole lot
After you give it all you got
Then she says she would rather not
Give her love to you anymore

She used to know my feelin's just by touching me
And love was so bright in her eyes the whole world could see
I remember when her words and her lips were so warm so soft
I need someone to take up where she left off
Don'tcha know I'm needing someone to take up where she left off
