Written by Luther Vandross



You know

I've had a lot of things happen to me in my life

And yet



I don't spend much of my time

Feelin' sad

I don't let anything turn my sunshine to rain

I never have



Well, people have told me I'm not worth the time of day

Said I was over the hill

And it's been said that I always get in the way

But nothin' seemed to hurt me till



You stopped lovin'

You stopped lovin' me

Why'd you do that

You stopped lovin'

You stopped lovin' me

Lovin' me

And I don't want to do

Don't know what I'm gonna do, my love



(You stopped)

(You stopped)

(You stopped)

I just can't get it together since



(You stopped)

(You stopped)

(You stopped)

Oh



Out of your love, my love came

You made me strong

Well, it's just a shame, I don't know who or what to blame

Now that you're gone



I walk down the avenue right where I first met you

That nothin' else could do, yeah, yeah

Not a place I go through that I don't run into

Somethin' to remind me that



You stopped lovin'

You stopped lovin' me

Why'd you do that

You stopped lovin', oh

You stopped lovin' me

Lovin' me

And I don't want to do

Don't know what I'm gonna do, my love



(You stopped)

(You stopped)

(You stopped)

I just can't get it together since



(You stopped)

(You stopped)

(You stopped)

No, I just can't get it together since



(You stopped)

(You stopped)

(You stopped)

I just can't get it together since, no



(You stopped)

(You stopped)

(You stopped)

Ooh...oh...ho...



You stopped lovin', whoa, whoa

You stopped lovin' me, whoa, whoa, whoa

You stopped lovin', whoa, whoa

You stopped lovin' me, whoa, whoa, whoa



(You stopped lovin') I wonder why, wonder why, baby

(You stopped lovin' me) Why'd you do it, why'd you do that

(You stopped lovin') I wonder why, wonder why, baby

(You stopped lovin' me) Why'd you do it, girl, girl, yeah



(You stopped lovin') Why'd you do that, girl

(You stopped lovin' me) I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know

(You stopped lovin') Why'd you do that, baby

(You stopped lovin' me) You stopped, you stopped, you stopped



(You stopped lovin') You don't no more, you surely stopped, girl

(You stopped lovin' me) Oh...oh...yes, you did

(You stopped lovin') If you don't anymore, you've surely stopped, girl

(You stopped lovin' me)



(You stopped lovin') I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know

(You stopped lovin' me) Why'd you do that, why'd you do that, baby

(You stopped lovin')

(You stopped lovin' me)



(You stopped lovin')

(You stopped lovin' me)
