(Ashford / Simpson / Holland)



Here's a tear 

For a souvenir

And a dream 

Torn at the seams

Here's a promise that you made to me of love

It's more than I'll ever see

And then you're free to go



But I can't give back the love I feel for you

Gonna be stuck with it no matter what I do

Take these eyes that once could see

Now reflections of my misery

And happiness I thought would last

Is now becoming just a thing of the past

 

But I can't give back the love 

That's a part of me

If you want just a little bit

You'll have to take all of me

 

Simply adore 

'Til the world don't go round no more

 

Here's the ring 

That didn't mean a thing

And letters you wrote

That gave my young heart hope

Take the pillow where my dreams were made

And the mind where the thought of you stayed

But, baby, you should know

 

That I can't give back the love I feel for you

Gonna be stuck with it no matter what I do

Take these arms that held you close

And follow up the one you need the most

Take these hands no good to me

That used to touch you so tenderly

  

But I can't give back the love 

That's a part of me

If you want just a little bit

You'll have to take all of me



No, I can't give back the love that I feel for you, yeah

Gonna be stuck with it no matter, no matter what I do

No, I can't give back the love that's a part of me, yeah

Gonna be stuck with it no matter, no matter what I, what I do

Gonna get stuck

Gonna get stuck
