When Did You Stop Loving Me, When Did I Stop Loving You

Lyrics

You know, when you say your marriage vows
 They're supposed to be for real, I mean
 Well if you think back about what you really said, y'know about
 Honour and loving and obeying
 Until death do us part and all
 But it shouldn't be that way
 It should, it shouldn't be lies
 Because though it turns out to be lies
 And if you don't honour what you said
 You've lied to God
 The words should be changed
 Now as I recall
 We tried a million times
 Again, again, and again
 And that isn't all
 I gave my love to you
 Each time to make amends
 Suddenly, I start to realise
 I can't make it
 Pretty birds
 Fly away
 I have to leave you
 For my health's sake
 What to do
 Make you pay
 For leaving you my fine
 Is to pay forever
 So if a fresh new love comes in
 I won't say those words again
 Instead I'll say I tried to love and protect you
 With all my heart long as you want me to, baby
 If I love again
 I'm gonna try a new way this time
 Memories of the things we did
 Some we're proud of, some we hid
 So when two people have to part
 Sometimes it makes them stronger
 Do you remember all of the
 Pushy things, yeah, yeah
 You say you love with all your heart
 If you ever loved me
 With all of your heart
 You'd never take a million
 Dollars to part
 I really tried
 You know I tried, oh baby
 Although we tried
 All of those promises
 Was nothing but lies
 And I really tried
 You know how hard I tried
 Really tried, we really lied, didn't we baby?
 And on top of that
 You have scandalised my name
 What I can't understand is if you love me
 How could you turn me into the police?
 Didn't I love you good
 And try to take care of you best I could?
 You were so refined
 And your love is like mellow wine
 Pains of love, miles of tears
 Enough to last me for my lifetime
 Broken hearts last for years
 So break away to the new day sunshine
 One thing I can promise, friend
 I'll never be back again
 But I'm not really bitter, baby
 I wish you all the luck and all the love in the world
 (Good luck in the world)
 But I know you'll never be satisfied
 No, just to have me standing by your side
 Memories haunt you all the time
 I will never leave your mind
 You got judgement on your side
 You say bad things and you've lied
 Still I remember some of the good things, baby
 Like love after dark and beatniks in parks
 Those are the days I'd like to forget
 In my life
 I'd rather remember
 Remember the joy we shared, baby
 I'd rather remember
 All the fun we had
 All I ever really wanted was
 To love you and treat you right
 All we did was fuss and fight
 It don't matter, baby
 Take a lesson from them all
 I never thought I'd see the day
 When you put me through what you put me through
 You try your best
 You say I gave you no rest
 When did you stop loving me?
 When did I stop loving you?
 ♪
 When did you stop loving me?
 When did I stop loving you?
 ♪
 Oh, when did you stop loving me
 When did I stop loving you
