When Did You Stop Loving Me, When Did I Stop Loving You

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 know, when you say your marriage vows, they're supposed to be for real I mean

If you think back about what you really said, what it's all about, honor, loving and

Obeying till death do us part and all. But it shouldn't be that way, it should it

Should, it should be lies because it turns out to be lies. If you don't honor what

You said, you lie to God. The words should be changed

Ooo now as I recall, we tried a million times

Again and again and again, and that isn't all

I gave my love to you each time to make amends

Suddenly I start to realize I can't make it

Pretty birds fly away, I had to leave you for my health's sake

What to do? Make you pay, for leaving you, my fine, is to pay forever

So if a fresh new love comes in, I won't say those words again

Instead I'll say I'll try to love and protect you

With all my heart as long as you want me to baby

Ooo if I love again I'm gonna try a new way this time

Memories of the things we did; some we're proud of, some we hid

So when two people have to part, sometimes it makes them stronger

Do you remember all of bullshit, baby?

You say you love me with all your heart

If you ever loved me will all of your heart

You'd never take $1 million to part

I really tried, you know I tried, oh baby

Although we tried, all of those promises was nothin' but lies

I really tried, you know how I tried, we really lied, didn't we baby?

And on top of that you have scandalized my name

But I can't understand, 'cause if you love me

How could you turn me into nothin' least

Didn't I love you good and try to take care of you?

Best I could, you were so divine and your love was like mellow wine

Pains of love, miles of tears, enough to last me for my lifetime

Broken hearts last for years and break away to the noonday sunshine

One thing I can promise, friend: I'll never be back again

But I'm not really bitter babe

I wish you all the luck and all the love in the world, good love in the world

But I know you'll never be satisfied No, you still want me standin' by your side

Memories haunt you all the time, I will never leave, your mind

Got judgement on your side; you've said bad things and you've lied

Still I remember some of the good things baby

Like love after dark and picnics in parks

Those are the days I'll not forget in my life

I'd rather remember, remember the joy we shared babe

I'd rather remember all the fun we had

All I ever really wanted was to love you and treat you right

All we did was fuss and fight

It don't matter baby, take a lesson from them all

I never thought I'd see the day when you'd put me through what you put me through

You try your best, you say I gave you no rest

When did you stop loving me? When did I stop loving you?
