Songtexte God Blessed Our Love~ When a Man Loves a Woman~ That's How Strong My Love Is~ You're Gonna Make Me Cry - O.V. Wright

I like to take a little time out, to tell you
That no love will last, except God being the plan
Ya see, I remember reading, where it has been said about them olden days
That you had to have a marriage license
But God said, what I joined together
Let no man put us asunder
So every night, before we go to bed
I take my baby and we get down on our knees
And raise our heads towards heaven
And then we thank god for sending us to each other
We also thank him, for binding us close together
Ya see we could′ve fallen by the wayside
But one can't fall without the other
We also thank him thank him for being so good, and so kind to us
All night long as we sleep, and then
Bright early in the morning
Every morning when I rise, I can just see heaven, all in your eyes
One thang I like about, it makes me know
That this is not just an everyday love
Naw, Naw, Naw, Naw
You see, we got something
We got something, I′m sure we can always be proud of
We got so much, so much love (wooo)
We got so much, so much trust
Can't you see a halo, a halo, hovering over us
That why I like to say this every now and then
God, bless our love
Oh I like that about, oh God, oh God
Said he'll bless our love
Another thang, I can just stand up
Stand up and tell the world
Ohhh, that you′re mine, all mines
Wooo, baby you′re heavenly designed
Oh God must have sent you to me, sugar
I like, kissing you, baby
I like, hugging you
I like squeezing you
Holding you, wanting you
I'm glad I′m still in love with you.
When people, you know what I'm talking about, you know
People always criticize, you know how they do
Oh that don′t bother me, naw, naw, I know God
I know we got God on our side
I like to take time to tell you
Another thang I don't understand
I can′t understand why, a man will work all the week long
And bring his paycheck on Friday evening and put it in his woman lap
And still, she will go out, and find another man
See I don't understand why, he would let her stay out all night long
And still, he loves her
I don't understand why
He let his best friend smile in his face
And then try to sock it to his baby behind his back,
I don′t understand that, but I guess
It wasn′t meant for me to understand
When a man loves a woman
He can't keep his mind on nothing else
He change the whole world for the good thang he found
If she bad, I mean real bad
He can′t see it, she can never, never do him no wrong
He'll turn his back on his best friend
Oh, if he put her down
When a man loves a woman
He′ll spend his very last dime
Trying to hold on, oh he want to hold on to what he think he need
But he don't need it
He′ll give up all his comfort, leave his happy home
Go sleep out in the rain
If that's the way, if she tell him honey
Oh that's the way want you to be
For this man, sho loves you woman
Give you, everything, I have
Trying to hold on, hold on, to your high-class love
Baby, baby, please, please don′t treat me bad
Wooo, when a man, loves a woman
Bad situation to be in, down deep in his soul
She can bring him, all he can feel such misery
If she plays him for a fool, everybody in the community know about it
He′ll be the last one to know, you see
Loving eyes, loving eyes can never see
One thang I want to say before I leave here this evening, you see
I feel like it good to have a love that won't let you down
I feel like good to have a love will stick by you closer than a brother
You see, I had a love once, and I feel so good about
I had to go tell all my friends
I went and told my mother, I told my father, I told my sister and I told my brother
You just don′t know, what this woman mean to me
If I was, the sun up there
I will glow with love, everywhere
Even be the moon, after the sun goes down
So you can see, so you can see that I'm still around
Oh that′s how strong, oh that's how strong, my love is,
That′s how strong my love is
If I was a fish, now this is a bad situation to be in
That has been cast upon the land, I will stay there
Yeah, Just image this, if you will let me hold your hand
Even be the wind, from a roaring storm
I'll stop for a moment, oh baby, baby, I'll walk you home
Oh that′s how strong, oh that′s how strong, oh my love is,
That's how strong my love is
Just before I go, if I was weeping willow
And was drowned in my own tears, oh you can go swimming
As long as you will live, I′ll even be the rainbow
After all my tears are gone, you know what I'll do
Wrap you in my color, oh I would even keep you warm
Oh that′s how strong, oh that's how strong, oh that′s how strong my love is,
That's how strong my love is
If I were a star, and was so far way, you see baby I will guide you in love
I wouldn't let you go astray
If I were an ocean, great big ocean
And was so deep and wide, I will reach out and catch your tears
Every, every, every, every, see I wouldn′t let you cry
I love you baby, I love you baby
