The Sweeter He Is

I didn't ask to fall in love with you

But you were so sweet

Tell me what else could I do?

But one day you said

You didn't want me no more

Yes you did

And my heart is still aching

From this terrible blow

The sweeter he is

The longer the pain is gonna last

Yes, it will

In your own way

You made me feel just like a queen

You built me up so high

So I gave you my everything

Oh, but one day

You took your good love away

And oh, that's why I'm here

I'm suffering, suffering today

The sweeter he is

The longer the pain is gonna last

Oh, yes it will

The sweeter he is

The longer the pain is gonna last

Oh, I know it will

I know it will

I realize, I'm too late babe

But I just want to stop right now

And let you know

That I hurt myself too

And every tear you cry

I want you to know I shed one tear too

I really love you, baby

And you look like I'm gonna get along without you

It happened so many times

When I touched the pillow where you used to lay

And all I can do, all I can do

Is just wait for you baby

'Cause I still love you

And I can't do nothing without you baby

No, no, no

Baby, I love you

Deep down in my heart

Yes, I love you

I just can't get along without you

Yes, I love you

Deep down, deep down in my heart

I still love you, baby

And don't act like I'm going to get along without you

I can remember the time

We used to walk down the street

I know there was a time

We used to hold hands together

And we would walk and we would talk

We were so much in love

I love you

And we would sing the song

So sweet

So sweet

Something like this

Now let me hear my cry

Let me hear my cry one more time

We don't leave you, baby

We don't have to go

But before I leave ya

I want you to know that

This don't have to end

Listen to this

Honey you

Are my shining star

Don't you go away

Don't you leave

I wanna be

Right here where you are

Until my dying day

Honey you

Are my shining star

Don't you go away

Don't you leave

I wanna be

Right here where you are

Until my dying day

Hear me just one more

One more

One more

One more time

The sweeter he is

I say, the sweeter he is

The pain, the pain is gonna last

The sweeter my baby is

I tell ya that the pain

Is gonna last

He'll love you so sweet

And so good

That's how I know

The longer the pain is gonna last

Is gonna last, gonna last

He know he hurt  me

You knew it was gonna take some time

For me to get over you

That's why I say

The sweeter he is

He was so sweet

That's why I know the pain is gonna last

Is gonna last

It's gonna last
