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
