Lyrics

Can't hold on to what I got for
Long enough to have it
You can't have it
If it ain't to be had
And once again my heart is broke
I'm a creature of habit
And this habit
Is driving me mad
And speaking of this, I
And speaking of this, I
I been speaking about him lately
But he ain't been speaking about me
No, he ain't been speaking about me
Said if I had his love
I would kiss it and cry
I'd give him things to remember me by
I'd fill his future, I would try
But I had his love, yeah
And I held it inside
And I never let my feelings fly
And now I'm by the wayside
It is so high, you can't get over it
It is so low, you can't get under it
Love is so wide, you can't get around it, yeah
You just gotta move through it
You just got to move through it
Love is so high, love is so high
Love is so wide
It's gonna eat you up
If you try to hide inside it, honey
That's what I learned with him
As my guide
Seems each time I find a man
I find a way to lose him
I didn't choose him
Try as I might to spin it any other way
And it's not my fault, and he's not the one
But, boy, he could have been
I'd call him, I would write
If I thought it would make him say
And speaking of this, I
And speaking of this, I
I been speaking about him lately
But he ain't been speaking about me
No, he ain't been speaking about me
Said if I had his love
I would kiss it and cry
I'd give him things to remember me by
I'd fill his future, I would try
But I had his love, yeah
And I held it inside
And I never let my feelings fly
And now I'm by the wayside
