Of course its the version of this song that had a big impact upon the Northern Soul scene but on our scene originals were much more favored, even though Timi Yuro’s version is pretty fantastic – it was done first by Baby Washington.
It was played at the Blue Note but no one really took to it apart...
I know you’ve come to tell me that it’s over [woa-o-yeah]
Well all right, I’ll let you go free
But baby, though it may be over for you
It’ll never be over for me
Made up my mind, Not to start crying [woa-o-no]
But there’s more than the eye can see
'Cause, baby, inside, my heart is breaking apart
'Cause it will never be over for me
I know, every time, I look up at the stars
Your face, is gonna come into view
And every time the wild wind, touches my lips
Oooo, mmm, I think of your kiss, and it – feels so good
But if ever you find, that you were mistaken [O-o-yeah]
No matter how long, that my heart breaks
Ooooh – just come on back
Ah, forget about everything yeah
'Cause, baby, it may be over for you, yeah!
But it’ll never, never never never, be over for me
Now I know why you’ve come here
To tell me that it’s over
I’m sorry I can’t help you, baby
Oooh, 'cause it’ll never be over
I know, I know that I’m gonna part
But I know, I know you’re gonna break my heart
