I gave you all of my love

Oh baby now don't you misuse it
And if you got somebody else

I want you to please please please baby
Let me down easy
I sweated and toiled for you baby
And I know, I know you know it
But if you got any appreciation for me
You got a sad sad way of showing it, oh yeah
If you got somebody
