Darling, darling, please hear my plea
God only knows what your loving does to me...

Cheap thrills in the back of my car

Love of my life, I love you so
Love of my life, don't ever go
I love you only
Love, love of my life

Stars in the sky they never lie

When I won your love

I was very glad

Every happiness in the world

Belonged to me
Then our love was lost

You went away

Now I shed my tears

In lonely misery

I know now you never

Really loved me

It hurts me now to think you never

Really cared, you know you never really cared

I sit and ask myself a thousand times

Try, try and find, yeah

What really happened

To the love

Yeah!
Got no place to go
I'm tired of walking up and down the street all by myself
No love left for me to give
I try and try but no-one wants me the way I am

Why should I pretend I like

To break this heart of mine

And we'd share a love so fine
