The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You say you love me
More than you could ever love her, ah, ha, ha
But circumstance has made you stay by her side
You'll never leave her
God knows you've tried
But I understand
A man ain't nothing but a man
Oh, why do I need you when we can't be together?
What good is "I want you", when you're passing me by?
Oh, I can't keep on saying "I love you" forever
What good is "I love you", when you're saying goodbye?, ahh, baby, yeah
No-one has ever made me so very happy
When we're together, baby
Everything is all right
Here on my pillow
Alone at night
Can't you see my heart keeps on crying?
Something's telling me you're lying
Why do I need you when we can't be together?
What good is "I want you", when you're passing me by?
Oh, I can't keep on saying "I love you" forever
What good is "I love you", when you're saying goodbye?, yeah, mmm, why?
Said I'm thinking about you now baby, why, ooh, why should I?
What good is "I need you" when we can't be together?
What good is "I want you", when you're passing me by?
Oh, I can't keep on saying "I love you" forever
What good is "I love you", when you're saying goodbye?
Baby, baby I love you forever
What good is "I love you" when you're saying goodbye?
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You're saying goodbye
Baby, baby, I love you forever
