Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sometimes you let go of one dream
To get to somethin' bigger
And when it feels like that bigger dream
Might be able to change more than just you
You'll want everybody to see how high you can get
But it was a risk
We haven't even reached the top at Motown yet
That slot belong to someone 'else
[Verse 2]
I need love, love
To ease my mind
And I need to finally find
Someone to call mine
[Verse 3]
Ooh, how many heartaches must I stand (Ooh, ooh)
Before I find the love to let me live again? (Ooh, ooh)
Right now the only thing that keeps me hangin' on
When I feel my strength, yeah it's almost gone
[Verse 4]
I remember mama said (You can't hurry love)
No you'll just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
[Verse 5]
Audience's going crazy for the Supremes
Don't see none of them doin' splits
And catching mics in their hands
When you that fine, you ain't got to do nothin' but sing
[Verse 6]
I've been crying (Ooh, ooh)
'Cause I'm lonely (For you)
That you're never ever gonna return (Hey, hey, hey)
To ease the fire that within me burns (Hey, hey, hey)
[Verse 7]
It keeps me crying baby for you
So won't you hurry
Come on boy see about me (Come see about me)
See about you baby (Come see about me)
[Verse 8]
They made the hot one-hundred again
Five songs at number one
That's more than us
Maybe they got wider appeal?
Maybe they got whiter appeal?
[Verse 9]
Ooh, ooh
Baby love, my baby love
Baby love, ooh, ooh, baby love
All of my whole life through (Don't throw our love away)
I never loved no one but you (Don't throw our love away)
Why you do me like you do?
[Verse 10]
I get this need (Baby, baby, baby)
Ooh, ooh (Need you, yeah, need you, yeah)
Till it's all you need, till it's all you need, ooh, baby love
(Baby love, my baby love, baby love, ooh, ooh, baby love )
Don't throw our love away (Don't throw our love away)
