Huh, you know life is funny when you look at it Everybody wants love But everybody's afraid of love You know, I'm a true believer If you get anything out of life You got to put up with the toil and strife Ooh You're pushin' my love A little bit too far I don't think you know I don't think you know how blest you are And your friend Annie May tell you all she see Have you, ever thought she was tryin' to get close to me Think it over, think it over, girl, think it over That's the way I feel about 'cha That's the way I feel about 'cha I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind I know you've been hurt and so have many others too But that's the sacrifice that life put you thru Put you thru, put you thru Trust in me, my dear, have no fear You don't know but God might have sent me here, sent me here Think it over, think it over, girl, think it over That's the way I feel about 'cha (Any of us can leave for a long adventure) That's the way I feel about 'cha Don't take my love as a sign of weakness Check into the situation, girl Dig a little deeper Think it over, think it over, girl, think it over That's the way I feel about 'cha That's the way I feel about 'cha
