You bring us joy within. don't let this feeling end let it go on and on and on, now baby, baby, baby. Those tears that's in my eyes, I cry not for myself, but for those who never, never join me...baby. Whenever you're near, I hear a symphony. Each time you speak to me. I hear a tender rhapsody of love now baby, baby. As you stand, holding me. Whispering how much you care. A thousand violins fill the air, now baby, baby, Don't let this moment end. Keep standing close to me...ooh so close to me now baby, baby....baby, baby I hear a symphony...a tender melody

I'll try something new. (repeat and fade)

COMPLETE MOTOWN ANTHOLOGY, THE (3:01)
CD Single:
You think that I don't feel love. What I feel for you is real love. In other's eyes I see reflected, A hurt, scorned, rejected, Love child, never meant to be. Love child, born in poverty. Love child, never meant to b. Love child, take a look at me. I started my life, in an old, cold, rundown tenement slum. My father left. He never even married Mom. I shared the guilt my mama knew so afraid that other's knew I had no name. This love we're contemplating is worth the pain of waiting. We'll only end up hating, the child we may be creating, Love child, never meant to be. Love child (scorned by) society, Love child, always second best. Love child, different from the rest. (Hold on, hold on) mmm baby, (Hold on, hold on) mmm baby. I started school, in a worn torn dress that somebody threw out. I knew the way it felt to always live in doubt, to be without the simple things. so afraid my friends would see the guilt in me. (ahh) Don't think I don't need you. Don't think I don't want to please you. But no child of mine will be bearing the name of shame I've been wearin' Love child, love child, never quite as good. Afraid, ashamed, misunderstood but I'll always love you. I'll always love you (repeat and fade)
Love Is Here and Now Your Gone (2/67)
Also sung by: Michael Jackson
Available on:
Love is here and oh my darling, now you're gone. Love is here and oh my darling now, now you're gone. You persuaded me to love you and I did but instead of tenderness I found heartache instead. Into your arms I fell so unaware of the loneliness that was waiting there. You closed the door to your heart and you turned the key, locked your love away from me. Love is here and oh my darling now you're gone. You made me love you. And oh my darling, now you're gone. You said loving you would make life beautiful with each passing day. But soon as love came into my heart you turned and you walked, just walked away. You stripped me of my dream, you gave me faith, then took my hope, look at me now. Look at me! See what lovin' you have done to me. Look at my face. See how crying has left its trace. After you made me all your own. Then you left me all alone. You made your words sound so sweet, knowing, that your love I couldn't keep. My heart cries but you're not there and the lonely cry fades in the air. Love is here and oh my darling, now you're gone. Love is here and oh my darling now you're gone. You made me love you. Oh my darling, now you're gone....

Far beyond the imagination. Love is like an itching in my heart, tearing it apart just an itching in my heart, and baby, I can't scratch it. Keeps me sighin' keeps me yearnin', Nobobdy can help me, Nobody can help me. I've been bitten by the love bug, and I need some information. to help me out of this situation, now when you're ill, you take a pill, when you're thirsty drink your fill, whatcha gonna do? Oh yea, when love gets a hold of you. Love is like an itching in my heart, and baby, I can't scratch it. Love is a naggin' irratation causing my heart complications. Love is a growing infection. And I don't know the correction. got me rockin' and a reelin' and I can't shake the feeling. Love is like an itching in my heart, Tear it apart. Love is like an itching in my heart and baby, I can't scratch it. Keeps me sighin', Keeps me yearnin' Keeps me tossin', Keeps me turnin', Keeps me yearnin'....
