from "Ladies' Choice", 1976, Epic Records
Well it ain't easy, I never thought it would be But seeing's believing and now that you're leaving I see What was always there, right before my eyes Two dreamers, living away in one beautifl lie... Love hasn't been here Since you went away Love hasn't been here And without love, there's no reason to stay... Take it or leave it Find it and keep it some way You want to be free but it takes more than walking away If I'd only known what you needed If I'd only been told Taken the warning that should have been heeded... And love hasn't been here Since you went away Love hasn't been here And without love, there's no reason to stay... Any more girl, dragging it on and on Are you sure girl, all the feeling's gone What you want is one thing But there's something you just don't see (just don't see) The love that you gave is the love you can save Won't you come back girl and please save me... And love hasn't been here Since you went away... And love hasn't been here Since you went away... And love hasn't been here Since you went away... And love hasn't been here Since you went away... Here I am again facing it all alone And I'm chaning like the seasons Won't you come on home And, oh without love, ain't no reason to say... And love hasn't been here Since you went away...
