Lyrics Deliver the Love - Phyllis Hyman

(Onaje Allen Gumbs/Ausar Sahw)

Time keeps running, fleeing out my door
Till there's no more
And I've been waiting, aching for your call
But you won't call

You say this is love
But you just can't do that to me
Unhappy I won't be

Show me how life is suppose to be
Fresh and free
And give me something more than memories
And broken dreams

Deliver the love
You said you knew would set me free
So lonely I won't be

If this is love,
What happened to the newness that we felt
Since when this love
Deny one of the joys of happiness
No more promises to give

My heart is bleeding
Nedding something more than before
And now life's answers with an open door
With you in store

Deliver the love
That only you can give to me
So happy I can be, so happy I can be
So happy, oh, so happy I can be

INTERLUDE

If this is love
What happened to the newness that we felt
Since when this love
Deny one of the joys of happiness
No more promises to give, to give

My heart is bleeding
Needing something more than before
And now life's answers with an open door
With you in store

Deliver the love
That only you can give to me
So happy I can be, so happy I'm gonna be
So happy, oh, so happy I can be
Oh-ohh

Deliver the love
Deliver the lo-o-o-ove
Whoa-ohh, deliver the love
Ooh, ooh, ooh
