[Intro]
I've given you, I’ve given you
I've given you, I've given you
The best years of my life
[Verse 1]
You don’t even know what I'm crying for
And you don't even care, if I love you anymore
You'd do anything just to be free
Without even thinking of me
But I've given you the best years of my life
[Verse 2]
You can't even see what I've done for you
The love that I gave, doesn't mean anything to you
Oh, you expect me to make a new start
After leaving and breaking my heart
And I’ve given you the best years of my life
[Pre-Chorus]
Even though you’ve decided to go
There is something you just have to know
I desperately, desperately love you so...
[Chorus]
I've given you, I’ve given you
(I've given you, I've given you)
I've given you, I’ve given you
(I've given you, I've given you)
The best years of my life
[Verse 3]
You don't even care what becomes of me
You just want me out of your way
And then you're done with me
Oh, well: as soon as you walk out the door
There is nothing for me to live for
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I've given you the best years of my
Given you the best years of my
Given you the best years of my life
[Chorus]
(I've given you, I've given you)
Oh! Don't you know I gave them
(I've given you, I've given you)
A long time ago, yes I did
(I've given you, I've given you)
How could you leave me here, baby?
(I've given you, I've given you)
Drowning in my own tears, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
As soon as you walk out the door
There is nothing for me to live for
Oh, 'cause I've given you the best years of my
Given you the best years of my
Given you the best years
The best years of my life, baby
[Chorus]
(I've given you, I've given you)
Don't you see me down here on my knees, baby?
(I've given you, I've given you)
Honey, how could you leave me here
(I've given you, I've given you)
How could you leave me here, baby
(I've given you, I've given you)
Don't you know that I love you, with all my heart and soul
[Pre-Chorus]
Soon as you walk out the door
There's nothing for me to live for
'Cause I've given you, oh, the best years of my
Given you the best years of my
Don't you know I've given you the best years
[Chorus]
(I've given you, I've given you)
The best years, the best years of my life
(I've given you, I've given you)
Baby, yeah yeah, don't you leave me honey
(I've given you, I've given you)
Don't you know that I need you
(I've given you, I've given you)
I need you with all my heart and soul, yes I do baby
[Outro]
Oh yeah, one thing I want you to know...
I've given you the best years of my...
