I Love You Dear

[Intro]
Mmm-hmm-hmm
Mmm-mmm, oh

[Chorus]
I love you, dear, I love you, dear
I love you, dear
Though loving you brings me unhappiness
My love to you, I've got to give
I said, I love you, dear, I love you, dear
I love you, dear
Though loving you brings me such loneliness
Without your love, I don't wanna live

[Verse 1]
You've been a longtime part of him
Though you say you belong to me, yeah
How long must I wait in the rear
Longing for you to be free?
Sick and tired of picking places
Familiar faces aren't likely to be
Just because someone else
Happens to own my dreams

[Chorus]
Tell you, I love you, dear, I love you, dear
I love you, dear
Though loving you brings me unhappiness
My love to you, I've got to give
I said, I love you, dear, I love you, dear
I love you, dear
Though loving you brings me such loneliness
Without your love, I don't wanna live

[Verse 2]
All you claim he is giving you
Is a shelter and a roof
Then leave it, you don't need it
I've got a shelter for you too
I know you want to wait a while
'Til your child is up and grown
But baby, it's worse on you and the child
To live where there's no love in the home

[Chorus]
And I love you (I love you, dear)
I love you, dear, I love you, dear
Though loving you brings me unhappiness
My love to you, I've got to give
I said, I love you, dear, I love you, dear
I love you, dear
Though loving you brings me such loneliness
Without your love, I don't wanna live

[Bridge]
(Feeling so mad) Feeling so mad
(Life is so sad) Ooh, so sad
There's no guarantee that you will ever be mine
(Mine, all mine, all mine)
Ooh

[Chorus]
I love you (I love you, dear)
I love you, dear, I love you, dear
Though loving you brings me unhappiness
My love to you, I've got to give, oh
I love you (I love you, dear)
I love you, dear, I love you, dear
Though loving you brings me such loneliness
Without your love, I don't wanna live, oh

[Outro]
I love you (I love you, dear)
I love you, dear, I love you, dear, yeah
(I love you, dear)
(I love you, dear)
