Lyrics

If I ever leave you....you can say I told you so!
And if I ever hurt you baby..... you know I hurt myself as well.

Is that any way for a man to carry on
Do you think I want my loved one gone
Said I love you
More than you'll ever know
More than you'll ever know

When I wasn't making much money
You know where my paycheck went
You know I brought it home to baby
And I never spent a red cent

Is that any way for a man to carry on
Do you think I want my loved one gone
Said I love you
More than you'll ever know
More than you'll ever know

I'm not trying to be
just any kind of man
I'm just trying to be somebody
You can love, trust and understand
I know that I can be
yeaaahhhh
A part of you that no one else could see

I just wanna hear,a hear ya say
its allright
yeahhh yeahhh

I'm only flesh and blood
But I can be everything that you demand
I can be king of everythang
Or just a tiny grain of sand

Is that anyway for a man to carry on
Do you think he wants his little loved one gone
I love you baby, i love you baby
i love youMore than you'll ever know

If I ever leave you....you can say I told you so!
And if I ever hurt you ..... you know I hurt myself as well.

Is that anyway for a man to carry on
Do you think he wants his little loved one gone
I treid to tell ya I love you baby, i love you baby
yea i love you baby
i love you More than you'll ever know

i love you
i love you
i love you baby!!

i told you so many times before
I love you
I love

As many props as people give Donny Hathaway, he is still very underrated. He is simply one of the greatest of all time.

a true genius, soulful and beautiful... i can relate to this 'coz i lost my job, my pride and my confidence, but my woman still married me anyway... i quit smokin, drinkin and moved outta the city, all to save on the pennys... i got a crummy job to pay the smaller bills whilst she pays the heavier debts... i guess what i'm tryin to say is i love her, more than she'll ever know...

[rassledassle82]
