(Ellie Greenwich / Mike Rashkow)

 

You say you love me

More than you could ever love her, ah, ha, ha

But circumstance has made you stay by her side

You'll never leave her

God knows you've tried

But I understand 

A man ain't nothing but a man

 

Oh, why do I need you when we can't be together?

What good is "I want you", when you're passing me by?

Oh, I can't keep on saying "I love you" forever

What good is "I love you", when you're saying goodbye?, ahh, baby, yeah

 

No-one has ever made me so very happy

When we're together, baby

Everything is all right

Here on my pillow

Alone at night

Can't you see my heart keeps on crying?

Something's telling me you're lying

 

Why do I need you when we can't be together?

What good is "I want you", when you're passing me by?

Oh, I can't keep on saying "I love you" forever

What good is "I love you", when you're saying goodbye?, yeah, mmm, why?

Said I'm thinking about you now baby, why, ooh, why should I?

 

What good is "I need you" when we can't be together?

What good is "I want you", when you're passing me by?

Oh, I can't keep on saying "I love you" forever

What good is "I love you", when you're saying goodbye?

Baby, baby I love you forever

What good is "I love you" when you're saying goodbye?

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

You're saying goodbye

Baby, baby, I love you forever
