[Verse 1]
I heard that you been with that girl again, boy
Don't you know I could only take so much pain, yeah
It's plain to see, ooh, what you're doing to me
I, I could only take so much pain
[Pre-Chorus]
You've been sneaking around I'm told
Why am I the last to know?
Listen, when I say
[Chorus]
Should I love you like I do?
I'd like to leave but I'm unable to
Should I love you like I do?
Listen boy, I'm talking to you
[Verse 2]
I can give you a lifetime of desire; I can, yeah
Sweep you sweetly as a breeze on a hot summer night, ooh yeah
It's plain to see, ooh, what you're doing to me
I, I could only take so much pain
[Pre-Chorus]
I'll help you every inch of the way
Through the dark and through the day
Oh, listen when I say...
[Chorus]
Should I love you like I do?
I'd like to leave but I'm unable to
Should I love you like I do?
Listen boy, I'm talking to you
[Bridge]
I can feel you slippin' away
Don't hurt me again
I can't stand the pain
Oh listen, when I say...
[Chorus]
I've been thinking a lot about you
Should I love you like I do?
I'd like to leave but I'm unable to
Listen boy, I'm talking to you
I've been thinking
I've been thinking a lot about you
[Outro]
Oh, don't hurt me again, boy; I need you
Should I love you like I do?
Should I love you like I do?
Should I love you like you love me?
Listen to me, I'm talking to you
