Lyrics Isaac Hayes

Isaac Hayes

Your Loving Is Much Too Strong

Wake up baby, the sun is in our face

We overslept, and daybreak has caught us

And now we gotta get outta this place

I'll check and see if the halls are clear

And neither one of us can afford

To let it be known that we were here

I know that it's wrong, but I keep hangin' on

I can't leave you alone

'Cause your lovin' is much too strong

Well you have your obligations, and I have mine too

I wouldn't jeopardize your situation

Or make any great demands of you

But I have to be with you once a week

That's all I live for

And each time we're together

It seems so much better than the time before

I know, yeah (I know that it's wrong)

I can't help it, baby (But I keep hangin' on)

Hangin' on, I can't, I can't, no no (I can't leave him alone)

'Cause your lovin' is much too strong

Hold me baby, and kiss me one more time

Oh how I wish that I were yours

And you were only mine, yeah yeah

Let me check you over, got to be sure everything is in place

We got our stories together

'Cause we know what we got to face

And if our friends found out about us

They would call it a disgrace

But if our home life was together

We wouldn't have a need to sneak this way

Now I know, I know (I know that it's wrong)

I know it's wrong (But I keep hangin' on)

I keep, I keep hangin' on

I can't be alone, 'cause your love is much too strong, yeah yeah

I know, I know (I know that it's wrong)

I don't want to be right, yeah (But I keep on hangin' on)

Hangin' on to you with all my might

I can't, help me (I can't leave you alone)

Help me somebody ('Cause your lovin' is much too strong)

Your love, your love

I know, I know, yeah (I know that it's wrong)

I keep on hangin' to you, baby (But I keep on hangin' on)

I can't, I'm too weak for it (I can't leave you alone)

I can't leave, you shouldn't have loved me so good, baby

('Cause your lovin' is much too strong)

Yes it is, yes it is, yes it is

I said I can't, I know, I know (I know that it's wrong)

I know it's wrong, you don't have to tell me

(But I keep on hangin' on)

You're the best thing I ever had, I can't lose you

(I can't leave you alone)

Ooh, help me y'all, help me

('Cause your lovin' is much too strong)

Oh love me, I said I know, I know, I know, I know

(I know that it's wrong)

I can't help me now (But I keep on hangin' on)

I never let you go, you're the best thing I ever had

(I can't leave you alone)

I can't leave you alone ('Cause your lovin' is much too strong)

'Cause your lovin' is a-much
