Oh, you can't say nothing to the pouring rain

And you can't say nothing till there's hope


Again -


(Say) - oh my baby - you must never change

For we're only the ones we love


And I've stood stolen by the pauper's heart


Yes, I've stood stolen where the aching starts

But the way you watched - it's a life apart



For we're only the ones we love


Only


Only

You're the only one who could say


I could love this way


I could love this way



Oh, you can't get even with this kind of pain

But to see you steady brings the calm, again


(Say) - oh my baby - let them stay the same


For we're only the ones we love

And they've seen something which I'll never see


But - I dreamed something when you fell for me


(Yeah), I dreamed something which soars above



For we're only the ones we love

Only the ones we love


Yes, love, and love, mmm, mmm


This love, love

Oh, I get tired - and I get old


But to see you steady brings a flood of gold


(Say, oh, my baby) - I've been taught and told



We're only the ones we love

Only the ones we love


Love, love, mmm, mmm


This love, mmmm, mmm
