'Cause I Love You

Girl, you know I love you
 No matter what you do
 And I hope you understand me
 Every word I say is true
 'Cause I love you
 Baby, I'm thinkin' of you
 Tryin' to be more of a man for you
 And I don't have much riches
 But we gonna see it through
 'Cause I love you
 Ho... ho... ho...
 Some men need lots of women
 For their passions to feel
 But I want only you, girl
 If it's in, if it's in, if it's in God's will
 'Cause I, 'cause I love you
 I, I love you, baby
 With all my heart and soul
 Oh, oh, oh, oh
 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
 Love you
 I need you
 I want you
 I need you
 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh your love makes me grow stronger
 It keeps goin' on, oh, baby
 I'm glad I found you
 I just love to be around you, oh, baby
 You've been so good to me
 Oh, baby
 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
 Hmm, hmm
 Hmm... hmm... mmm...
 You know
 One time things got so bad until
 I had to go to one of my friends and talk to him
 And I told him, I said, "You know
 I'm having problems with the woman that I love
 It seems that I call her on the phone and I just can't get her to answer
 And then I went to her house and I saw a car parked in the driveway
 I knocked on the door, but still my knocks went unanswered
 And then I went home and I-I watched television until television went off
 And then I played my records until I just didn't want to hear them anymore
 And finally I went to bed, but I found myself waking up a few hours later
 And the tears were running down my face"
 And my friend told me, he said, "Lenny,
 You just oughta forget about her"
 But I told my friend, I said, "You know
 Maybe you've never been in love like I've been in love
 And maybe you've never felt the things that I've felt"
 But this is what I told my friend
 I said, "You know, sometimes you get lonely
 You get lonely, you get lonely"
 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
 And I cry, I cry
 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
 And the tears would fill up in the wells
 In the wells of my eyes, baby
 And then it got so bad, it got so bad
 Till one time I thought I'd roll myself up in a big ol' ball and die
 And then I met you, darlin'
 And you smiled at me
 Oh, oh, it was such a pretty smile, yes, it was
 And you reached out your hand
 You helped me (Helped), you helped me (Helped me), you helped, oh
 I'm glad, baby, I'm glad, baby
 Oh, oh, oh, baby, ey, ey, ey
 I won't ever leave you, baby
 I won't ever grieve you, baby
 I'm gonna love you, oh, oh, oh, baby
 I'm glad, I'm glad, baby
 Oh, oh, yeah, baby, oh, oh, oh
 I love you, I love you
 I love you, I love you, oh
 I love you, I love you
 I love you, I love you
 I love you, I love you
 I love you
