(Curtis Mayfield, Calvin Carter and Jerry Butler)



He don't love you, like I love you

If he did, he wouldn't break your heart

He don't love you, like I love you

He's try-in' to tear us apart



Fare thee well, I know you're leavin'

(I know you're leavin')

For the new love that you've found

The handsome guy that you've been dating, whoa

I got a feelin' he's gonna put you down 'cause



He don't love you, like I love you

If he did, he wouldn't break your heart

He don't love you, like I love you

He's try-in' to tear us apart



He uses all the great quotations

Says the things I wish I could say

Whoa, but he's has so many rehearsals

Girl, to him it's just another play but wait



When the final act is over

And you're left standing all alone

When he takes his bow and makes his exit

Girl, I'll be there to take you home



He don't love you (and he never will)

Like I love you

If he did, he wouldn't break your heart

Oh, he don't love you, girl, like I love you

He's try-in' to tear us apart



Whoa, he don't love you....
