Darling if you've been a hurting

I don't care what it is

I wanna help for certain, but it takes more than a kiss

All this love and affection

I'm feeling for you now

Send it back in my direction, girl

I can show you how 



My love is coming on strong

And you know, you've been gone away too long 



Bring back, bring back your lovin' to me

Bring back, bring back your lovin' to me 



All that words that passed between us

Spoken in haste

Could have gone back and forth to Venus

For all the time we waste

Staying angry at each other

Sometimes just for anger's sake

I don't want no other lover

I got too much here at stake 



Our love is worth fighting for

And you know it, even as you close that door 



(Chorus)

Bring back, bring back your lovin' to me

Bright it right back here baby

Bring back, bring back your lovin' to me

I want you sweet lovin' right now 



Every night I sit and watch for you, baby

I pray to God you haven't found somebody else

But I could never care, like I care for you

When I hurt you girl, well I just can't stand myself 



They say pride will be our downfall

Girl I've swallowed mine

I'm begging you, baby, come back

And I will tow the line

To the top of the Eiffel Tower

To the bottom of the sea

If it means just one more hour

Your love will shine on me 



Our love is worth fighting for

And you know it, even as you close that door 



(Chorus)

Bring back, bring back your lovin' to me

Bright it right back here baby

Bring back, bring back your lovin' to me

I want you sweet lovin' right now
