My eyes are closed and I've nothing more to say But I was so willing to give it all away And what a show I've loved you all I could When will I see you Is nothing understood? You thought I was stupid But now I stop (stop!) at nothing (I stop at nothing) I thought you were better But love's gonna take a man Yeah love's gonna take a man Don't say your love is killing me You know how much it means to me I too have feelings deep inside But would not hurt your foolish pride Heaven only knows At your every turn a scandal But how's it suit you When it's all too much to cope with? You thought I was nothing Before you stepped [stepped] into my life (stepped into my life) I thought you were clever But love's gonna take a man And you haven't got it in you Don't say your love is killing me You know how much it means to me I too have feelings deep inside But would not hurt your foolish pride Don't say your love is killing me You know how much it means to me I too have feelings deep inside But would not hurt your foolish pride Don't say your love is killing me You know how much it means to me I too have feelings deep inside But would not hurt your foolish pride Don't say your love is killing me You know how much it means to me I too have feelings deep inside But would not hurt your foolish pride Don't say your love is killing me [Don't say your love] You know how much it means to me [Is killing me] I too have feelings deep inside But would not hurt your foolish pride Don't say your love is killing me [Don't say your, your love is] You know how much it means to me [Your love is killing me] I too have feelings deep inside But would not hurt your foolish pride
